Early Learning for Families events are designed gatherings held across elementary schools in the district to support engagement and development among young children and their families. These sessions invite families to participate in a wide array of activities that focus on early childhood exploration and discovery.
During the events, children aged 3 to 5, along with their families, participate in a range of nature-themed activities, collaborative art projects, storytelling sessions and dynamic movement activities. The activities include scavenger hunts that thrill and engage, crafting sessions that involve intricate weaving, and sensory play with playdough and kinetic sand, all of which combine fun with educational outcomes.
Adding a musical dimension to the festivities, Juno-nominated musician Ginalina performed a 30-minute mini-concert. Her music, which celebrates the wonders of nature and community spirit, provided an uplifting backdrop to the day’s activities.
These events offer engaging learning opportunities and meaningful interactions between families and district educators. Such interactions strengthen community bonds and integrate the principles of the Early Learning Framework, enhancing both the home and school experiences for the participants.
