The Canutillo Independent School District invites all families with children entering pre-K and kinder, to join in fun and learning while finding out why the early childhood education program at Canutillo ISD is the best beginning for young learners who are new to the world of education at the 5th annual Family Engagement Conference: The Future is Now, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Saturday, April 9 at Bill Childress Elementary School.
“A child’s early years are the foundation for his or her future development,” said Sandra Carrillo, Canutillo ISD early childhood and new teacher coordinator. “Providing a strong base for lifelong learning and learning abilities, including cognitive and social development is an essential building block of a child’s future success.”
At Canutillo ISD, the early childhood education programs are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy with a focus on nurturing young children’s social and emotional well-being to build essential life skills that promote future academic success and develop strong well-rounded individuals. Teachers learn alongside their students and guide them towards areas that peak their interest and curiosity. They nurture exploration, discovery, and problem solving through continued observation and growth tracking.
During the conference, families will have the opportunity to hear from early childhood educators from the District about the programs as well as engage in hands-on learning activities with their children at various sessions focused on early childhood literacy, writing, math, science, and social-emotional development. District personnel will be onsite to answer questions regarding the program and registration.
