Unleashing Educators’   Children's     Parents'   Full Potential
with Emotional Intelligence

"Begin to ECSEL has shaped teachers' understanding of not only their own emotional responses and reactions but the behaviors and underlying emotions of the children in their classrooms. The interactive courses, mentorship opportunities, and coaching calls create a community of support. I'm excited to see more of this!"

“[Begin to ECSEL] is based on research, but it’s also steeped in evidence and that’s really important. Not a lot of things in the early learning space really come together with evidence and research, so that sets it apart.”

“The process and the whole ECSEL program taught me that the kids need to know their emotions and understand their emotions. We are in a decade where we talk so much about emotions and mental health when we get older, but why not start when we are younger?”

“I’ve definitely heard LifeSpan Center was talking about how it made a difference in their CDA program. I’ve definitely heard from programs that they felt more confident when completing their CLASS assessment, and for me, that’s huge.
