Early Childhood Social-Emotional and Academic Learning

EC-LEARN offers transformative education, development, and wellness training services and resources to early childhood providers such as Head Start programs, child care centers, and home care providers who serve low-income children and families. With a focus on social-emotional learning (SEL), holistic wellness, and early childhood development, EC-LEARN empowers educators, specialists, and parents to create environments that foster not only academic and emotional growth, but also physical and mental well-being for young learners.

Our wellness programs emphasize the importance of self-care for educators and parents, promoting practices that enhance both emotional resilience and physical health. Through topics such as trauma-informed care, stress management, and mindfulness in the classroom, EC-LEARN equips providers with the tools to support children's overall well-being while addressing their mental health and wellness needs.

In addition to offering evidence-based training in areas like classroom management, language and literacy development, and inclusive practices, EC-LEARN provides resources for wellness initiatives aimed at preventing burnout among educators and fostering a balanced, healthy approach to teaching. By integrating wellness strategies with early childhood education, EC-LEARN ensures that both educators and children are supported in thriving emotionally, socially, and physically.
