The teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) model has been considered a valuable tool for children to reach their full potential in life. However, little research has been conducted with the TPSR model in preschool contexts. The purpose of the present study was to understand the experiences of a program leader while implementing a TPSR-based program within a preschool setting. The participants were 24 children with 5 years of age attending a school located in the north of Portugal, and the program leader. Data sources included reflexive journaling, field notes and participant observations. Findings suggest the TPSR model could be adapted and implemented with preschool children. However, there is a need to consider specific adaptations to develop TPSR-based interventions and facilitate responsibility outcomes. This study provided a novel understanding of how TPSR may be implemented in a preschool context to foster social and emotional learning and enhance school readiness.
