Absract. The research gives a thorough analysis of six program systems for preschoolers that have emotional learning integrated within the materials and a specifically designed teaching aid for social and emotional learning. The
results show that there is a statistically significant difference between the already
existing programing systems on all the six emotions. This suggests that the level
of integration of emotional learning is different within the program systems. The
second step of the research compares the program system with the highest results,
with the suggested teaching aid for social emotional learning and the results showed
significance for the emotion Disgust. Based on the analysis it is concluded that the
suggested teaching aid for social emotional learning covers the emotional education
of preschoolers to the extends a whole program system does.
