Social and emotional development in early childhood: more important than ever.

The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) is focused on promoting the social emotional development and school readiness of young children birth to age 5.

Positive social and emotional growth in the early years can lead to a lifetime of learning and mental health. This growth starts with relationships and caring settings.

Research indicates that children who are mentally healthy tend to be happier, show greater motivation to learn, have a more positive attitude toward school, more eagerly participate in class activities, and demonstrate higher academic performance than less mentally healthy peers.
