  2. Resources

Resources developed by the Fred Rogers Institute are a reflection of research into the Fred Rogers Archive and rigorous research with educators and other children's helpers. Fred Rogers was a practical scholar of child development, and his careful consideration of the needs and experiences of children is preserved in the 22,000 items in the Fred Rogers Archive at Saint Vincent College. The programs and resources of the Fred Rogers Institute are grounded in Fred Rogers' work and the lived experiences of those who care for and educate children today.
