Southeastern University has broken ground on The Robert and Sandra Graper (RSG) Early Childhood Center, a new learning experience for young children + future educators alike.

Set to open in Spring 2027 to children ages 0-4, the center will focus on milestone and routine-based learning, encouraging exploration and outdoor play.

Additionally, RSG will serve as a lab school for SEU College of Education students to gain real-world experience.
