About the event
Join us for an engaging conversation about why the early years are such a critical window in a child’s development—and why early childhood education matters.
Led by early childhood expert Dr. Rebecca Hawley, this research-informed session will explore how young children grow and change across four key areas: cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Drawing from both research and classroom experience, Dr. Hawley will share insights into how development unfolds and what young children need from their learning environments to build confidence, independence, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Whether you’re expecting, navigating the early years, or exploring early education options, all parents and caregivers are warmly invited to join us for this informative and thought-provoking session.
A campus tour will follow the session, offering an opportunity to experience Shu Ren and learn more about our early childhood program.
