People often think of the ABCs and 123s as the most important skills for children to enter kindergarten ready to learn. But just as important are what experts call “social-emotional skills,” like expressing and managing big feelings and playing well with others. These skills are the building blocks children need to excel in school and life. When we invest in our children’s social-emotional learning, we contribute to a stronger, more prosperous Iowa.
You are invited to hear from local and state leaders about why children’s social-emotional development matters to sectors of our state, including health, education, and business, and learn from the experts at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, about how Iowans can help families give young children the best start in life. Also watch for a guest appearance from a furry friend!
