Heartsmart SEL Curriculum
You believe in SEL. You don't have 6 hours a week to plan it.
Writing fresh lessons every week on top of teaching is the fastest road to burnout — and it's the first thing that gets dropped.
A worksheet here, a video there, a poster you saved months ago. Nothing connects, and you re-search for it every time.
Without a clear week-by-week map, SEL becomes a rushed Friday afterthought instead of a steady, building habit.
HeartSmart is the complete print-and-go SEL curriculum — six practical units, one full year of lessons, fully sequenced and ready to print. No scavenger hunts, no late-night planning. Download it once and use it every year.

Each unit is a one-stop shop of valuable resources that saves time! The activities are engaging, as well! Not only are the children learning, but they're having fun doing it.
The progressive nature of this tool was very helpful. It took the challenge out of planning sessions and provides a ready-to-go solution for a topic that can be very complex.
Note: some pages shown in this preview reflect an earlier version of the curriculum. The content, lessons, and activities are identical — we've simply refreshed the visual design to be even more polished and classroom-ready.
Every page is print-ready and designed to be used straight away.

"We start the day with a HeartSmart lesson and my mornings are finally calmer — kids walk in knowing exactly what to do with their feelings."
Marisol ReyesKindergarten Teacher · public elementary classroom
"I run it with my small groups and we've seen fewer playground conflicts by the end of the first term. The pacing guide does the heavy lifting for me."
David OkonkwoSchool Counselor · K–5
"My five-year-old now says 'I'm frustrated' instead of melting down. Kids using emotion words at home — that alone was worth it."

I highly recommend The HeartSmart Program to any therapist working with children!! The SEL Curriculum is a very useful resource for therapists and teachers. I love the unit on self-awareness and the weekly lesson plans that help children to identify and verbalize their feelings.
This is a really thorough and comprehensive curriculum. The visuals and information are completely targeted at the age range. The order of activities makes total sense. It is lovely to have a mixture of games, activities, and coloring. It would also be easy to pull out some of the worksheets to use as stand-alone sessions with children one to one.
Whether you're at home, in a classroom, in a counseling office, or homeschooling at the kitchen table — HeartSmart fits all four settings without rewrites.

Yes — all four. The lessons are written to flex between a full classroom, a counseling small group, a calm corner, and one-on-one at home. The same file serves every setting; you choose the format that fits your space.
Yes. HeartSmart is grounded in the CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) framework — the most widely used and researched SEL model in the world. CASEL identifies five core competency areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Each HeartSmart unit maps directly to these competencies, so you can be confident the curriculum is built on a trusted, evidence-based foundation.
