Contemporary studies show the major impact of early education on the future development of children, that justifies a quality educational approach from the early childhood, to meet the needs of children’s education for the onset of schooling. The dynamics of society and the updates in the field of education make it necessary to create an educational context as a response of the current needs of children’s competencies. In many countries, social-emotional education gains importance as an essential element of education, emotional intelligence being considered a determinant for success in life. The methods used were the pedagogical experiment, surveys, curricular analysis and systematic observation. When children experience well-being, the ability to think is increased. The active involvement of the teachers in the implementation of the programme, the use of recommended practices and the solving of the challenges that have appeared have led to an increase in the impact of the intervention. Keywords: Early childhood education, social-emotional skills, well-being, social-emotional education.

This article describes an early intervention program designed for speech-language pathologists enrolled in a master's-level program. The program provided students with courses and clinical experiences that prepared them to work with birth to 5-year-old children and their families in a family-centered, interdisciplinary, and ecologically valid manner. The effectiveness of the program was documented by pre- and post-training measures and supported the feasibility of instituting an early childhood specialization within a traditional graduate program in speech-language pathology.
