Parenting is a world often lacking clear-cut answers and direction that we desire. Every child is different and every family is different. Learning about child development and their needs in each stage of life socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually is an insightful way to better understand your child and their response to parenting.

Join us as Rebecca Ginnetti, our school counselor, leads a discussion with our division directors about the social and emotional needs of children and how parents can support their development.
