ELSA (early years)

EY ELSAs are Emotional Literacy Support Assistants who work in preschools/nurseries. They may work one to one with children, with small groups or support children in the wider setting. The EY ELSA training course has been developed and adapted from the school aged ELSA course and provides specialist training in attachment, the development of emotions, how to support co-regulation in the early years, ways we can develop social/friendship skills, etc. in order to support the social, emotional and mental health development of children in early years settings.
