Social Emotional Learning cannot be a standalone class, and cannot be taught as subject. It has to be lived, in every moment, and it is at the core of everything we do at Brightworks.

In the early years, play leverages the brain’s natural curiosity to explore. It leads to child-led discoveries, group collaboration, and building all the things that make good humans…self-discipline, self-direction, collaborative problem, and the habits of life-long learning.

Anthony Consiglio—Director of Community, Slowness, Caring, and Jokes—speaks here about our approach to SEL at Brightworks.
