The purpose of this study is to test the practicality of mothers and children utilizing the WECS Relational Health Toolkit. The Cuddle and Calm Book, Well Baby Book, mother and child mutual narrative activity card, Bottle of Feelings, Mother's Socioemotional Support Circle, and the WECS for emotional connection make up the preschool WECS Relational Health toolkit. The WECS Relational Health Toolkit provides family-based resources to help mothers and children emotionally connect. The WECS Relational Health Toolkit is designed to create emotional connection and establish mother-child autonomic co-regulation, which helps shape autonomic state and behavior of the mother and child and therefore determines early child development and mother well-being. The investigators will test whether this toolkit can be a positive part of a standard preschool education program. Practicality will be measured through virtual participant attendance, a participant survey, and staff notes. Effects of this program on the emotional connection of mother-child pair will be measured through the Welch Emotional Connection Screen (WECS). Effects on child behaviors will be measured through the WECS-Parent Report (WECS-PR), SDQ, and Survey of Wellbeing of Young Children Baby Pediatric Symptom Checklist (BPSC) or the Preschool Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PPSC) subscales (age-dependent). We will also measure symptoms of depression in the mothers using the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) before and after the introduction to the Toolkit. We will also assess differences in developmental progress using the Milestones subscale of the SWYC.
