• Bringing Innovative Early Education to the Milwaukee Area, Celebree School is Set to Open Its Doors in October 2027
• Nurturing Children Six Weeks to Five Years Old, the School Offers a Creative, Play-Based Learning Approach
• With a Commitment to “Grow People Big and Small™,” Celebree School Supports Families and Meets the Growing Demand for Quality Childcare

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education offering infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, marks its debut in Wisconsin, with the first location in a multi-unit signed agreement set to open in fall of 2027. The new schools will offer a nurturing, curriculum-based environment that supports the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of children while adhering to Wisconsin’s early education standards.

About the Owners

Owned and operated by Arpita and Snehasish Maity, the new schools aim to nurture, educate, and empower children while supporting families. Arpita brings a strong background in technology, operations, community engagement, and early learning, along with a bachelor’s degree in art. Snehasish serves as the Chief Information Officer at Fincantieri Marine Group, where he leads major digital transformation and innovation initiatives. Together, the Maity family is committed to bringing high-quality early education to their communities.

“We’re thrilled to bring the Celebree School experience to the Milwaukee area with a local school that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and provides lasting value for families,” said Arpita. “We believe that meaningful change starts with a strong foundation in education, and our vision is to build a place where children can truly thrive, and families feel fully supported. For us, this is much more than opening a business, as it’s an opportunity to help shape the next generation.”

The Maitys plan to open multiple Celebree School locations across Wisconsin in the coming years, supporting the brand’s long-term growth in the region.

The Celebree School Approach

Celebree School was founded on the promise to Grow People Big and Small™, believing that success in early childhood development stems from both exceptional curriculum and meaningful connection that extends beyond the classroom. Each Celebree School builds a village of parents, children, and educators dedicated to supporting the whole child and the whole family, while providing curriculum-based care that prepares children for kindergarten and beyond.

At the heart of Celebree’s approach is The Creative Curriculum^® by Teaching Strategies, a nationally recognized, research-based program trusted by educators for decades. This curriculum encourages exploration, creativity, and critical thinking through hands-on learning experiences, ensuring children build a strong foundation for future academic and personal success.

Wisconsin’s Demand for Early Childhood Education

While Wisconsin was ranked seventh in education, many students are still working to regain pre-pandemic academic achievement levels. Gaps in early childhood learning, specifically foundational and social-emotional development, have contributed to these challenges and can have lasting effects as students progress in their education. With a shortage of available childcare and early learning options across the state, Celebree School is stepping in to provide accessible, high-quality programs that build strong foundations and help children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our mission take root in Wisconsin,” said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Celebree School. “Knowing that children will have the support and foundation they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally makes this work deeply meaningful. I’m confident the Maity family will carry our vision forward and create a nurturing place where families feel truly supported.”

With a 30-plus-year history of providing superior early childhood education, Celebree School delivers a stable, secure learning environment that helps children develop a lifelong love of learning. Programs are available for children six weeks to 5 years old with unique curriculum designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part time or full time and parents are welcome to drop in and visit at any time.

Proven, human-centric, AI-orchestrated K-12 intervention programs empower teachers with more time and help each student achieve guaranteed measurable growth

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Studient, a leader in AI-powered personalized learning, introduces a new era of intervention with the launch of its solutions for K–12 education. By combining motivation science, mastery-based progression, and human-centered AI, Studient ensures each student makes tangible academic progress while giving teachers crucial time back.

Schools and districts across the country are currently piloting Studient, including Reading Community Schools in Ohio.

“Since we began exploring Studient’s programs, we’ve already seen encouraging signs of growth, and our students are showing noticeable increases in motivation for learning,” said Mark Edwards, Assistant Superintendent at Reading Community Schools. “We’re still early in our implementation, but teachers and administrators are seeing focused classrooms and more engaged learners. We are eager to continue watching the full impact of Studient unfold.”

Studient breaks the mold of educational AI with Motivention™, providing districts a proven, research-backed solution that helps teachers deliver truly personalized learning and verifiable student growth through a guaranteed 90% Mastery Floor. The AI Engine allows educators to reclaim hours each week, reducing burnout and bringing Bloom’s 2 Sigma promise within reach. With a commitment to 2x verified growth for Tier 3 learners, the engine helps students in the bottom quartile accelerate their progress and build agency in learning.

“What sets Studient apart is the powerful combination of motivation, mastery, and multidimensional support for educators,” said Jenna Pipchuk, CEO of Studient. “These elements make true personalized learning realistic and sustainable, though it has long been considered out of reach, all without disrupting the familiar classroom practices teachers rely on every day.”

Motivention™ by Studient utilizes the AIM Blueprint™ to help students in the bottom quartile accelerate their progress and build confidence and agency as learners. The motivation science framework helps teachers pinpoint each student’s needs and design an individualized path for growth, integrating motivation science to rebuild students’ sense of belief, effort and momentum through structured recognition, peer connection and personal purpose.

“Teachers are constantly forced to juggle the pressure to drive strong outcomes with the need to build meaningful relationships that support each student’s growth,” said Kimberly Ball, Vice President of AI Learning at Studient. “Studient enables them to effectively do both, improving results with support from AI while giving educators much needed bandwidth to focus on the human side of teaching.”

Studient gives schools a risk-free path to stronger student outcomes through third-party validation and outcome-based contracts. Districts only invest once student growth is proven, ensuring that limited budgets are protected and resources are only being used to promote real, measurable impact.

Studient, a dba of 2Hr Learning, Inc., is redefining what’s possible in K-12 intervention.

New research shows Republican hostility to EVs easing, end of federal EV subsidies curbing EV demand, strong EV sales potential in multifamily housing, 49 percent of younger (under 45) open to buying Chinese-made vehicles, and sharply polarized views of Elon Musk and Tesla. President Trump remains controversial among auto consumers, with only 28 percent rating him a friend of the U.S. auto industry

DETROIT, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As President Donald Trump prepares to travel to Detroit this week to address the Detroit Economic Club and tour a Ford Motor Co. plant during the opening of the North American International Auto Show, new national research from EVs for All America finds that Americans’ views on electric vehicles are evolving, with Republican resistance easing but concerns about jobs, China and affordability still shaping the market.

“Our latest national survey of auto consumers has good and bad news for EVs,” said EVs for All America founder and CEO Mike Murphy. “The fierce partisan polarization over EVs is declining, but the removal of federal EV subsidies remains a cooling factor for sales in the short term.”

The report, Fixing America’s Partisan Divide Over EVs: Tracking Three Years of Slow Progress, analyzes three years of national polling of U.S. auto consumers and finds positive movement among Republicans, strong partisan polarization over Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and a clear road map to sell more EVs across America.

Key findings from the new report include:

• Republican hostility toward EVs has lessened by 20 points over three years.
  GOP voters are increasingly less likely to say EVs are “for people who see the world differently,” signaling a gradual thaw in cultural resistance.
• President Trump faces significant doubts among consumers about his support for the U.S. auto industry. Only 28 percent of auto consumer voters in households earning $50,000 or more rate President Trump as a “Friend of the U.S. Auto Industry.” The sample represents more than 80 percent of the new- and used-vehicle market and roughly two-thirds of the presidential-year electorate.
• Opinions of Elon Musk are sharply divided along party lines.
  While Republicans give Musk favorable ratings (which has helped thaw GOP consumers’ hostility to EVs), Democrats overwhelmingly hold strongly unfavorable views at 86 percent, creating a significant branding problem for Tesla.
• Republican voters are deeply concerned about the loss of auto manufacturing jobs to China.
  The majority of Republican voters worry that U.S. national security is at risk if America’s industrial base continues to erode with the loss of manufacturing jobs to China. 88 percent worry at least some, including 53 percent who worry a lot.
• The loss of federal EV subsidies cools consumer interest.
  Roughly half of auto consumers say the end of federal EV incentives makes them less likely to buy or lease an electric vehicle. Conversely, an examination of EV sales in Germany after EV subsidies ended shows a strong recovery over the two years since the credits ended, following an initial sales decline.
• Multifamily building residents remain a significant opportunity for increased EV sales if overnight “Level 2” charging is added to apartment buildings and condo parking.
  65 percent of condo owners and 70 percent of apartment renters say they would be more likely to buy or lease an EV if their building offered overnight Level 2 charging in parking spaces. The finding highlights a major adoption barrier for urban and suburban consumers who lack access to private garages.
• Consumers clearly report that the best path to selling more EVs, both in red states and blue, involves moving marketing messages away from “green” messaging and instead focusing on the many positive vehicle attributes that EV drivers enjoy, including fast, fun to drive, quiet, and the ability to avoid traditional and expensive gas stations.
• The data show that consumers under 45 are far more open to EVs than older consumers, a trend that should grow as younger consumers age and gain market share.  In a troubling long-term sign for existing auto brands in the U.S., younger consumers under 45 show a definite open-mindedness to purchasing Chinese-made vehicles, while consumers over 55 are far more hostile.

“The path to breaking down the partisan EV divide is clear in the data,” said Murphy. “It’s all about focusing on great vehicle performance and attributes, not on political climate dogma. It’s also about smart EV policy at the state level, including state incentives such as California’s proposed new program, since the Trump administration has decided to back away from federal support for EVs. Since 80 percent of all EVs sold in America are sold in 15 states, smart pro-EV policy in those core states is the best public policy move in the short term. Opinions of EVs are always higher in states with a large EV market penetration since our data shows positive word of mouth is a huge factor in attracting more EV customers.”

Murphy said the findings offer timely context as national political leaders spotlight manufacturing and the auto industry.

“With the President heading to Detroit to talk about jobs and American manufacturing, this research underscores that EVs are an important path to creating more American auto jobs and helping secure U.S. auto manufacturing, not targets of a culture war,” Murphy said. “That only helps China seize the future of the global auto industry, a real threat to the U.S. and our allies. Automotive and political leaders should take our findings on younger consumers’ interest in Chinese-made cars seriously as well.”

The report is based on annual national surveys of 600 registered voters age 18 and older in households earning $50,000 or more, representing more than 80 percent of the U.S. new- and used-vehicle market. EVs for All America conducted these surveys each November from 2023 through 2025. The report also incorporates additional research, including an October 2024 survey of 800 registered Republicans and an October 2025 survey of 400 California condo and apartment residents. National polling was conducted by Hill Research Consultants, with the California survey conducted by David Binder and Associates.

About EVs for All America

EVs for All America is a nonprofit research and education organization focused on expanding electric vehicle adoption by advancing practical policies, consumer-focused messaging, and solutions that work across the political spectrum.

WIENER NEUSTADT, Austria, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — First comprehensive global study of very large hail in a changing climate reveals contrasting trends and different causes. 

For the first time, scientists have modelled the occurrence of hail larger than 5 cm globally.  European storm researchers analysed long-term trends of hail frequency and associated economic losses over the past 30 years. While very large hail is most common in parts of South America, the United States and South Africa, the study reveals that the strongest increase in frequency has occurred in Europe. In contrast, some regions of the Southern Hemisphere have experienced a decline. Changes in atmospheric moisture near the surface are primarily responsible for these trends.

Although hail-related losses have increased across Europe, with several multi-billion-dollar losses over recent years, the meteorological changes are only partly responsible for this increase.  Rising losses are also driven by greater exposure and vulnerability: as more homes and infrastructure are built in hazard-prone areas, the potential for damage increases. This effect is a key driver of rising losses in the United States and along Australia’s coastlines.

The study was published in Nature Geoscience and lead-authored by the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) in collaboration with experts from the Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań (Poland) and German reinsurer Munich Re (Germany).

The map illustrates the mean trend in the annual number of very large hail events per decade between 1950 and 2023. Hail stripes showing the yearly occurrence of very large hail are provided for six metropolitan regions.
