In Hopkins, we call ourselves an E-12+ system because we know and believe that early childhood learning is an essential component of the school experience. In this newest episode of Inside Hopkins, we explore why those early years are so crucial for child development.

According to our guests (Sara Chovan, Kathy Willett, and Jennifer Muller), it is in early childhood and through preschool programs that students develop a love of learning and begin to develop skills like curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts!
