The CEL Team
IF kids are a treasure,
IF kids flow with life,
IF kids can do amazing things,
IF kids are our future,
Then let's do ALL we can for them!
Let's educate them to be physically fit, emotionally literate, agile learners
capable of managing their lives and the future of our country.
It all began with a decision to help children suffering from emotional stress so severe that they were having problems in school. Most parents love their children. Dedicated teachers do work in our schools every day. Everyone is trying to do fabulous work! Why isn't it taking root?
Something is missing, and it has been missing for a long time. Something important. Educators try to plant the seeds of knowledge without tilling the ground in which those seeds must grow — the bodies, minds and emotions of their students. CEL has developed tools and techniques that address exactly this problem. Once the students are prepared to learn, the efforts of their teachers truly take root. Children want to grow, and they try. The wisdom and experience of CEL can teach them to control their experiences and achieve their real goals.

CEL began with a focus on children and school environments. It soon became obvious that the troubles of today's children are also shared by yesterday's children: US, the adult world. CEL has developed tools designed to reach groups of adults as well, enabling smoother workflow, higher productivity and easier interaction.
