What do children need from the adults and environments around them as they grow? Throughout the year, The Hartsbrook School invites parents, caregivers, educators, and community members to come together for a series of conversations about childhood, adolescence, learning, and development. Each evening takes up a different question, from the role of nature and play in the early years, to storytelling, adolescence, and our children’s relationship with technology. Together, we’ll look at what we know about how children develop, consider the pressures families are navigating today, and share practical ideas that can be carried into homes, classrooms, and everyday life. These evenings are not just for Hartsbrook families. They are open to anyone interested in thinking more deeply about how we help children grow into capable, curious, grounded young people. Come for one conversation or join us for all four. All workshops take place at The Hartsbrook School in Hadley, Massachusetts. $5–$30 sliding scale · Free for current Hartsbrook families · Open to all Oct 14 The Nature of Childhood Wonder, play, nature, and the early years Jan 20 The Warmth of Storytelling Storytelling, imagination, and development Mar 17 Purpose, Pressure & Growing Up Adolescence, responsibility, independence, and identity May 5 Childhood in a Digital World Screens, technology, and healthy development Start Your Visit We’d love to welcome you to Hartsbrook.
