Partnership Announcement: Housman Institute and Ellis Early Learning

“Effective social-emotional learning is critical to positive outcomes in early childhood and beyond,” said Lauren Cook, CEO of Ellis Early Learning. “We are excited to partner with Housman Institute to place emotional understanding and regulation at the center of our community. In doing so, we are laying the foundation of emotional intelligence so that optimal learning can occur.”

This partnership will serve as a model for the nation on what is optimal for providing a strong foundation for children’s mental health, well-being, and learning during the critical years of children’s brain development. Numerous reports show increased learning loss, developmental delays, and behavioral concerns.

“It’s now more important than ever that we support and promote the skills of emotional intelligence with our youngest children, when their brains are most malleable, and educators as they face unprecedented stresses. Our youth are in the midst of a mental health crisis. By making social-emotional learning central to overall learning, we can improve educators’ and children’s mental health, as well as academic outcomes.”
