The current study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of the proposed program based on social intelligence in reducing the problem of school phobia among pre-school children. The study is applied on a sample of 20 children. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the researcher prepared a program in social intelligence and designed a graphic scale in school phobia, in addition to an assessment scale in school phobia. Besides, the researcher designed the program sessions and distributed over a time period (41 sessions), by (3 sessions) per week. The session duration ranges from 20 to 30 minutes. Moreover, the post-measurement of the school phobia problem was carried out after the completion of the application of the program sessions. Besides, the follow-up measurement was carried out after a month and a half of the post-measurement. The results showed the effectiveness of the program, including the sessions to achieve its objectives. There were statistically significant differences between the mean degrees of the experimental group's individual grade scores before and after the program. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the ranks of the experimental group and control group scores in the post scale, with no differences between the mean ranks of the scores of the experimental group members in the post and follow-up measurement.
