Evidence for social-emotional learning in early childhood:
Bright Views is backed by science and ongoing rigorous evaluation efforts
Extensive research has consistently shown that social emotional learning (SEL) in preschool children is linked to positive academic, social, and emotional outcomes.
Studies have demonstrated that preschoolers who receive SEL interventions show improved social skills, such as empathy, self-regulation, and conflict resolution abilities.
Research indicates that early exposure to SEL can lead to long-term benefits, including increased academic achievement, reduced behavioral problems, and improved mental health outcomes.
SEL programs in preschool have been found to contribute to a more positive and inclusive classroom climate, fostering a sense of belonging and promoting prosocial behaviors among children.
Longitudinal studies have revealed that preschoolers who develop strong social emotional skills are more likely to experience success in school, establish healthier relationships, and demonstrate higher levels of overall well-being in adolescence and adulthood.
SEL interventions in preschool have demonstrated benefits not only for typically developing children but also for those with diverse backgrounds, including children from disadvantaged communities and those with special needs.
Research suggests that incorporating SEL into the preschool curriculum can contribute to a positive and supportive home-school partnership, as parents and caregivers are more likely to be involved and engaged in their child’s learning and development.
