Now that the Making Children Visible Exhibit has begun, we would like to invite you to two evening events that we’re hosting in conjunction with the Exhibit, and the upcoming Conference.

On February 5th, As Part of the Encounters Exhibit, we’re pleased to host An Evening with Educators of Capilano Children's Centre. Join us as we take a tour of the two displayed projects at Frog Hollow, and learn from the educators from Capilano Children's Centre as they explain their project in depth. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding this project and discuss emerging topics.

Workshop: Engaging Families in Emergent Curriculum - Stories from Hilltop Educator Institute.
On the evening of February 21st, join us for a rich evening of stories, reflecting and learning with Sarah Felstiner of Hilltop Children’s Centre. This workshop is a great way to learn about ways to engage families in emergent curriculum.
Educators in Reggio Emilia, Italy have described the school as a "three-legged stool" made up of children, families, and educators...if one of the pieces is missing, the whole thing falls down! So how can we encourage families to become meaningfully engaged in our programs, and in studying their children's learning?
By designing a year-round plan for partnership, supported by pedagogical narration, we can invite families to participate in curriculum planning, documentation, and assessment. Using examples from Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle, this discussion will offer possible models for authentic collaboration between families and educators.
