Artificial intelligence isn’t just transforming industries; now it’s transforming childhood. From the way kids read and comprehend information to how they develop critical thinking and social skills, AI is already playing a role in early learning and growth.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Ying Xu, Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. In this live webinar, Dr. Xu will unpack how children interact with AI tools and how these technologies are beginning to influence cognitive, social, and emotional growth. We’ll examine how children learn from AI compared to human educators, the risks of misinformation, and what today’s children actually understand about the AI tools they use. This session will also touch on the opportunities for STEM learning through AI engagement and the growing importance of AI literacy in early education.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or industry professional, this webinar will offer valuable insights and practical takeaways as we navigate what it means to raise children in an increasingly AI-powered world.

🎓 Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the leading voices at the intersection of education and technology.

Opening up takes courage, and sadly, many parents hesitate out of fear of judgment.

24% feel judged by their own parents.
23% feel judged by their partner.
15% by friends.

At Celebree School of Hershey, we want to change that. We're a school family, a judgment-free zone full of empathy, encouragement, and understanding. Because parenting is hard enough without the weight of shame.

You’re doing your best. And we see it. 💙

If you could see the world through your child’s eyes for just one day…would you?

At Celebree School of Hershey, every day is a different adventure. It’s where food coloring becomes science experiments, friendships form over shared crayons, and “why?” is our favorite question. Our students are not just preparing for kindergarten. They’re learning how to express themselves, how to care for others, how to be brave, kind, and curious humans (and yes, plenty of early math, literacy, and science, too.)

Want to see what that looks like in real life? 💚 Schedule a visit and experience the life of a Celebree family.

Parenting is joyful. It’s also really hard.

From sleepless nights to tearful drop-offs 😴😭, raising children can be overwhelming... even for the most prepared parents. And you’re not alone. A recent survey conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Celebree School found that nearly half of parents didn’t expect it to be this demanding.

That’s why we’re here. 💚

At Celebree School of Hershey, we’re more than a place for your child to learn; we’re a support system for your family. A trusted partner. A team that understands the big feelings, the little victories, and everything in between.

You don’t have to do it all. You just have to do your best.
We’ll be right here beside you. 🤝💙
