What is Brick Based Learning?
Brick Based Learning fosters children's social and emotional development by using books and LEGO bricks to engage children in reflecting on topics such as managing anger, setting big goals, and being a good friend.
Our monthly subscription program:

What's in the Monthly Kit?

✓ One picture book focused on a particular social or emotional development theme
✓ An assortment of LEGO bricks (not a set)
✓ Curated LEGO brick-building challenges

Why Social and Emotional Learning Matters
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an educational approach that fosters the development of essential skills for managing emotions, building relationships, and making responsible decisions.
Good social skills and strong emotional regulation are associated with:
✓ Better decision-making skills
✓ Healthier relationships with peers
✓ Improved focus, attention, & academic performance
✓ Long-term emotional well-being
Why combine books and LEGO bricks?
We harness the power of LEGO bricks to bring a dynamic and hands-on learning component to each month's kit. After children read the book, they use LEGO bricks to reflect on and create builds related to the story's theme.
Plus, building with LEGO bricks:
✓ Improves fine motor skills and finger strength
✓ Fosters resilience and perseverance
✓ Promotes creative thinking
✓ Develops spatial awareness
Hey There, I'm Katie!
I empower busy parents and teachers to foster children's social and emotional learning through quality literature, Socratic discussion, and high-interest, hands-on activities that make learning enjoyable and accessible to all.
After completing a master's degree in education and a PhD focused on children's literacy development, I transitioned into homeschooling my children.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my parenting journey has been helping my kids develop the character traits, social skills, and emotional regulation that will propel them into a successful adulthood.
Now, my mission is to empower YOU by offering simple-to-use tools you can use to promote your children's social and emotional growth.
