Instill SEL with LUV™ in the Classroom (Ages 2-6)
Available in English and Spanish
Why SEL with LUV?
Teachers know that success in the classroom is about more than academics. Children also need the skills to manage emotions, work with others, and face challenges with confidence. Traditionally called Social Emotional Learning (SEL), this model has strong science behind it—but in recent years, it’s become clouded by agendas that distract from its purpose.
At MVP Kids, we’ve redefined SEL as Skills for Everyday Life™. By pairing these skills with our proprietary LUV™ Framework (Learning Universal Virtues), we give schools a clear, values-driven approach that strengthens students without adding unnecessary complexity.
The Classroom Advantage
SEL with LUV empowers teachers to:
Build a culture of respect, empathy, and teamwork.
Support students in managing stress and resolving conflict.
Encourage resilience and adaptability when challenges arise.
Nurture character and emotional intelligence in ways that unify, not divide.
With SEL with LUV, educators can trust that the focus stays on practical skills and universal virtues that help every child thrive—in the classroom and in life.
The LUV Framework in Action
Our step-by-step approach helps students grow in four essential areas:
Ignite a Passion for Reading – sparking curiosity and imagination.
Instill Social Skills & Emotional Intelligence – teaching empathy, communication, and collaboration.
Inspire Character & Virtue – reinforcing honesty, responsibility, and kindness.
Ingrain Mental Health Resilience – equipping kids with self-control, stress management, and perseverance.
Curriculum & Classroom Resources
MVP Kids provides educators with lesson plans, books, puppets, and activities that bring SEL with LUV to life. Our tools make it simple to integrate character-building and emotional intelligence into everyday teaching—without burdening teachers with extra complexity.
The Result
When classrooms embrace SEL with LUV, students not only excel academically but also grow into respectful, resilient, and compassionate individuals. Educators gain confidence knowing they’re equipping students with life skills that matter most—without the noise of social or political agendas.
