Kids Co. Annual Report FY’ 19 | 1 The Importance of Social and Emotional Development in Your Child

Every child needs a loving and affectionate environment in order to become a socially and emotionally healthy adult. Social emotional learning (SEL) is a cornerstone of Kids Co.’s programs as we help kids learn how to get along with others, encourage kids to express their needs and help them identify the words to express how they feel. According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning organization, SEL is “the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.”

Kids Co. helps our kids develop important skills through social-emotional learning that support kids in school and in life.

Our professional staff provide:* This is important because:*  Creative programming that allows kids  SEL improves self-confidence to try new things and acquire new skills  SEL increases positive attitudes  Team building games and activities  SEL reduces aggression  Positive adult mentors In the long-run it promotes:*  Alternative expressions to promote positive outcomes  Increased rates of high school graduation  Higher average wages * bullet points provided by the Afterschool Alliance SEL Took Kit  Positive behaviors and lifestyle

Kids will need expanded support to emerge from this crisis strong, resilient, and hopeful—and we’ll be there to help them do so.

We take pride in the community we have built over the past 30 years. Our vision of Kids Co.’s future is changing but knowing that we have you—our friends helping along the way—we are confident that we will be stronger, smarter, and a better organization to serve the families who need our care

The America’s Best Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to charitable organizations that meet the highest standards of public accountability, program efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Applicant charities must provide evidence of their program activities and demonstrate the benefit of their services. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000 or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal. Kids Co. is one.
