Meet the expert team helping East Bay preschools support the whole child—socially, emotionally, and developmentally. You want your child to feel safe, confident, and understood at preschool. But what happens when the classroom feels overwhelming, or a teacher isn’t sure how to support a child’s unique needs? That’s where Sequential Development Consulting comes in.
This is a sponsored post designed to introduce Sequential Development Consulting (SDC) to East Bay parents and educators.
What if Your Child’s Teachers Had a Team of Experts Behind Them?
Sequential Development Consulting (SDC) partners with preschools and childcare centers to help create joyful, supportive classrooms where young children can truly thrive. Their team of child development experts—occupational therapists, speech therapists, and mental health professionals—works hand-in-hand with educators to fine-tune teaching strategies and classroom setups. The goal? To better support each child’s needs and reduce any points of friction in the classroom. For early childhood centers that are scratching their heads about a particular behavior or practice, SDC can provide solutions.
“We partner with early childhood education programs to support them in meeting the developmental needs of young children in three essential areas: Social-Emotional, Sensory & Motor, and Speech & Language. When teachers have the right tools and support, they feel empowered and can better connect with every child; they feel confident creating classrooms where all children feel seen, safe, and ready to grow.”
~ Stephanie Kaufman, LMFT, Founder of SDC
For preschools wondering how to better support a child, or a whole class, SDC offers a fresh perspective and practical solutions. Whether a teacher is puzzled by a certain behavior or wants to make their space more developmentally friendly, the SDC team is there to help.
Preschools can invite the SDC team to provide hands-on teacher training and classroom assessments. The strategies they offer are simple, doable, and designed to help children build emotional regulation tools, self-control, focus, communication, and confidence.
Carol B, an Oakland mom of two, remembers a time when she could have used this kind of support. “Years ago, when my son was two and not talking much, his preschool missed the chance to flag it. I ended up navigating speech therapy on my own for several years. I can’t help but wonder – if the school had input from speech and language experts, could the teachers have been better equipped to help my son with the frustration caused by his speech delay?”

When children’s developmental needs are identified and supported early on, everyone benefits. As the SDC team explains, “Preschoolers who get the right support early are more confident and ready for kindergarten, and they’re less likely to need outside therapy later on.”
Success Story: SDC + Banana Fana Preschool
“Our little program was seen through the lens of outside professionals and all of our hard work was appreciated by them. They gave our school some helpful feedback that inspired our staff as early childhood educators and helped them become motivated to make small changes that benefit our community. SDC is a group of professionals that are genuinely here to help support preschools.”
~ Banana Fana Preschool, San Francisco
