The waitlist is now open for the Robert & Sandra Graper Early Childhood Center (RSG) at Southeastern University, which is slated to open Spring 2027.
RSG will expand access to high-quality childhood education in our community, while also serving as a lab school for students in the SEU College of Education to gain real-world experience.
Advancing the Mission
Designed to serve children ages 6 weeks to 4 years, RSG at SEU will provide a Christ-centered, nurturing, and creative environment where young learners can grow, explore, and thrive. Rooted in SEU’s longstanding commitment to Christian education, the center is dedicated to laying a strong academic, spiritual, and developmental foundation during the most formative years of life.
“This center is more than a building — it’s a direct expression of our mission, meeting vital educational need in our community, an investment in the future of our children,” shared SEU President Dr. Kent Ingle during the RSG groundbreaking celebration.
From the youngest learners to future educators, the center exemplifies our mission and is a natural step in our commitment to equipping the next generation of influential servant leaders.
A Christ-Centered, Classical Approach
SEU is redefining early childhood education with a whole-child approach by encouraging imagination, curiosity, and lifelong love of learning. At RSG, children will experience hands-on learning inspired by literature, nature, and the arts, with a strong emphasis on real-world exploration and minimal screen time.
Spots are limited. Families interested in enrolling can now join the waitlist to be among the first to receive updates as we prepare to welcome families to our new early childhood center.
