You are invited to attend an Educators' Neighborhood Community Sharing event on Wednesday November 10th from 6:00-7:30pm EST focused on the topic of Process. Fred Rogers was an expert at nurturing children’s patience and interest in process, showing them the importance of mistakes, how sustained practice matters, and ways to pause for meaningful reflection. We hope you’ll join us for a vibrant conversation with a panel of educators as we watch segments of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and talk about why an emphasis on process matters. Free to the public. All are welcome. Registration is required. Click here to learn more and to register:

In 1973 Fred Rogers wrote an article for Redbook about why nursery tales are so appealing to children. Because children enjoy hearing their parents' voices, they develop their listening skills when parents read aloud to them. This magazine article includes the stories "Old Mother Hubbard," "Dame Wiggins of Lee," and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
