I'm Cara Zelas, an early childhood educator and creator of humanKIND Classroom and the Big World of Little Dude.
After years of working with young children, I've seen how much difference it makes when social skills are taught through stories, play and everyday experiences.
I created humanKIND Classroom to give teachers practical, engaging resources that make these important skills easier to teach.
My goal is simple: help educators create classrooms where kindness, friendship, empathy and belonging are part of everyday life.
The curriculum is designed for children ages 4–8, from Pre-K through Second Grade.
No prior training in social skills teaching is required. Both partnerships include a 90-minute professional development workshop, teaching resources and practical implementation guidance.
Yes! That's the idea. Cara demonstrates the approach in a live classroom lesson and trains your teaching team to lead the curriculum themselves. This helps educators incorporate the strategies into daily routines and reinforce the learning beyond individual lessons.
Yes. The nine themes can be incorporated into your existing classroom schedule and routines.
We can create a custom quote for schools with three or more participating classrooms. Email Cara to discuss your school's needs.
Yes! Our $397 Classroom Kit includes the complete curriculum, nine books, Little Dude & Bird plush toys, printed handbook, digital teaching resources and a 30-minute Professional Development online workshop. Explore the Classroom Kit
