Elementary Enrichment Program – Enriched At Home

Enriched At Home is designed to complement every style of elementary education (Grades K-6), allowing families to bridge the gap between traditional school subjects and the development of the whole child.
Each month an Enrichment Kit is delivered (in PDF formant) to provide a framework for developing greater self confidence, health and academic performance.
Each Enrichment Kit Contains Three Research-Backed Modules:
- S.E.L.F (Social and Emotional Learning for Families)
- Nature
- Nutrition
What’s Inside Enriched at Home?
To give you a sense of what is included in each of the categories I’m going to use the February Enrichment Kit as an example.
Ok, ok, I know I am referencing the February Enrichment Kit which inevitably would have a Valentine’s Dayish theme, but I can’t say how much I LOVED the LOVE theme!
S.E.L.F
S.E.L.F – Social and Emotional Learning for Families, is designed to help families institute a comprehensive character education initiative at home. It’s character development with a splash of literature!
Did you know? “Social and emotional learning improves academic achievement by an average off 11 percentile points, increases kindness, sharing, and empathy an improves attitudes towards school and reduces depression and stress.” (J.A. Durlak, 2011)
