Nurturing hearts and minds, one child at a time.

Mission

Our mission is to empower children to develop social and emotional learning (SEL) through innovative, engaging, and evidence-based strategies. We believe that fostering SEL at an early age can create a more compassionate, empathetic, and understanding world. 

Vision

We envision a world where emotional intelligence is valued and nurtured in children, and all children can develop the social and emotional skills they need to lead happy, successful, and fulfilling lives. We strive to be at the forefront of innovation in social and emotional learning and to make a real impact on the lives of children and families around the world.

Values

1. Empowerment: We believe in empowering children to take control of their own social and emotional development.
2. Inclusion, diversity and equtiy: We strive to create products that are accessible to all children and families, regardless of their background or circumstances.
3. Innovation: We are committed to developing innovative and engaging products that make social and emotional learning fun and effective.
4. Integrity: We conduct ourselves with the highest ethical standards, treating all stakeholders with respect and honesty.
5. Impact: We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children and families through our products and mission.
6. Collaboration: We believe in working with others, such as educators, parents, experts and organizations, to create the best possible products and resources for children. 

<Our Story>

Every Child Dreams (ECD) was born in July 2022 as three graduate students at OISE (University of Toronto) got together with a shared passion for educational equity. As the three co-founders have various experiences in the field of education, we all saw the gaps in Social Emotional Learning among children, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since we have various experiences in the field of education, we thought that there was something we could do to make a positive impact on children's social-emotional development. Addressing this gap was important since SEL impacts not only their social and emotional development but their overall well being, academics, and day to day life. 

ECD will continue to grow to provide various resources for children and families to support develop SEL in fun and creative ways.
