Yes, many preschools offer life skills programs, and one such program is the Preschool Life Skills (PLS) program. PLS is a research-based curriculum designed to teach foundational social and life skills for school success [1]. It is a teacher-implemented approach, focusing on small group and class-wide instruction to impart critical social skills to preschoolers, aiming to prevent problems [2]. The PLS curriculum includes lessons to teach early life and social skills [4]. The program has been implemented in classrooms to reduce problem behavior and enhance preschoolers' development [8].
It's important to note that there are other programs, such as the Standards-Based Life Skills Curriculum [7] and the Incredible Years program [6], emphasizing social-emotional skills for children. Preschools may adopt various approaches to address life skills development in young learners [1] [2] [4] [6] [7] [8].
