Welcome to our Early Elementary Blog
Our Early Elementary Program is a special corner of Brightworks.
It is here that we preserve the joy of exploration, build the foundations of collaborative work, and tie learning and play together so intricately that children see them as one in the same.

Social Emotional Learning
Social Emotional Learning cannot be a standalone class, and cannot be taught as subject. It has to be lived, in every moment, and it is at the core of everything we do at Brightworks.
In the early years, play leverages the brain’s natural curiosity to explore. It leads to child-led discoveries, group collaboration, and building all the things that make good humans…self-discipline, self-direction, collaborative problem, and the habits of life-long learning.
Anthony Consiglio—Director of Community, Slowness, Caring, and Jokes—speaks here about our approach to SEL at Brightworks.
