Kikori Experiential Social Emotional Learning is a primary and secondary education-focused organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company develops experiential SEL curriculum and teacher training designed to foster belonging, resilience, and leadership in classrooms, aligning with frameworks such as CASEL and experiential learning principles. Its approach combines play, reflection, and collaborative problem-solving to create equitable access to high-quality SEL and to support sustainable, classroom-wide practices rather than one-off initiatives. The target audience includes educators, school leaders, and students, with reported outcomes including reduced behavioral referrals, increased engagement, higher attendance, and strengthened classroom communities across diverse settings. Beyond domestic work, Kikori has extended its offerings internationally, providing early education curriculum and training in St. Lucia and launching a Digital Citizenship, Safety & Wellness curriculum for schools in Canada and the United States. In addition to core programs, it supports social impact by gifting memberships to Play for Peace facilitators in conflict-affected communities, reflecting a global focus on experiential SEL. The organization emphasizes research-based methods grounded in established SEL and learning frameworks as it integrates curriculum design with teacher development to promote long-term, practical adoption of SEL in schools.
