Emotional & Financial Education for Stronger Families

Why EQ-Lab exists

Most systems treat a child’s emotional health, learning, and financial future as separate problems.
We don’t.
At EQ-Lab, we believe emotional regulation shapes learning — and learning shapes financial behavior.
When these are intentionally connected, families build lasting stability.
That’s why we created an integrated, bilingual, research-driven model focused on prevention — not crisis.

Our Three Houses

To bring this vision to life, EQ-Lab operates through three integrated “Houses” (projects) each addressing a key dimension of family well-being while working as one unified ecosystem.

The Sun House

Bilingual enrichment programs integrating Spanish immersion and social-emotional learning for elementary students, positioning bilingualism as an asset for long-term opportunity.

The Money House

Bilingual financial education for Hispanic and immigrant families, focused on how emotional regulation shapes financial decision-making and resilience.

The Research House

Bilingual, community-based research focused on Latino communities, translating data into practical insights that strengthen evidence-informed programs.

EQ-Lab’s integrated model is aligned with internationally recognized frameworks for sustainable development, particularly those advancing quality education, health and well-being, inclusive economic growth, and the reduction of inequalities.

Research in Ecuador obtains greater relevance if it is published in nationally and internationally indexed journals. Thanks to the guidance and advice provide by EQ-Lab, three articles were published in indexed journals and are currently highly cited articles by Latin American researchers. EQ-Lab encourages you to develop your full potential in the academic and scientific fields.

EQ-Lab guided me to present my work at the II International Congress on Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship. They then helped me publish my manuscript in an indexed journal. Thus, I managed to disseminate the results of my research work and they were not stored in my drawer. Thank you!
