Why Social Emotional Learning?
The Need
Growing up in today's world demands strong, resilient, hard-working, and creative kids. All children possess these traits - plus many more - because potential is distributed equally; opportunity is not.The Solution
When taught at an early age, skills like taking ownership, managing stress, overcoming obstacles, and developing healthy relationships are key to helping kids succeed in school, be prepared for the workforce, and become positive contributors to society.The Results
