COMMUNITY EDUCATION

How would you like your child to have a better understanding of his or her emotions? ErieKIDS offers a series of Emotional Intelligence presentations that demonstrate the importance of understanding emotions such as Anger, Depression and Anxiety, as well as many other "kid" related issues. As part of our commitment to Erie and Erie County we offer our brief, interesting and informative presentations to all groups involved in the care of kids for FREE. Parents, churches, schools, community centers alike have benefited from our discussions. You can too.

Can't make it to one of our discussion? That's ok, how about bringing the discussion to your home? We've taken the three biggest kid issues; Anger, Depression and Anxiety and created fun, musical videos that are sure to entertain your Preschooler through 3rd grader while teaching the language to discuss those emotions.

To ensure that your kid has a chance to see our movies, we've donated them to all of the elementary schools in Erie County. That's just a part of the commitment we have to our community.

Our commitment continues by bringing education not just to the students, but teachers and administration, too. Teaching children and managing in-class behavior is not getting any easier. We provide "how-to" training for teachers so they better manage their classrooms.

But our commitment to your kids doesn't stop there. We are committed to bringing our group presentation and videos to your community as well as our own. Our videos and curriculums are being used in many school districts across the state and nationally. Contact us today at (814) 835-3430 to discuss your community's educational, training and consultation needs.
