Research has determined what is important for very young children to be successful, not only in school, but also in life. This parents-only event, hosted by Concordia Early Childhood Division Principal, Mr. Drew Gerdes, highlighted information on self-regulation, executive functions, and social-emotional learning and how these three pillars serve as a foundational component for a young child's development and growth.
“At Concordia, we look to make a child’s early school experience successful in many different ways. When we partner research and child development together, we allow a platform to be built where future successes are housed,” explains Gerdes.
The coffee morning was heavily attended by current and incoming pre-school parents (SY 2018-19) who came to learn more about the classroom practices at Concordia. These parents left with insightful strategies to practice and support learning from home.
