Ms. Owen was recognized by the Rock Island Regional Office of Education (RIROE) for the April Employee of the Month Award at the East Moline Early Learning Center. Ms. Owen is in her second year of her role as an Early Childhood Instructional Specialist with the East Moline School District. Prior to that, she served as our Family Educator at the Early Learning Center. Earlier in her career path, she worked for many years with one of our most trusted community partners, and has a wealth of experience in early learning, teaching, and working with families. She has brought enthusiasm, passion, curiosity, and a strong focus on developmentally-appropriate practices to our early learning continuum, not only at a building level, but from a state and district perspective as well. She has advocated for more PLAY and outdoor experiences infused in all the learning that we do at the Early Learning Center, and has been instrumental in our recent expansion to include a full-day option of early childhood. Ms. Anna also supports the curriculum alignment to elementary programming by collaborating and coaching in kindergarten classrooms across the district. She is warm, welcoming, calm, insightful, and has a love for inclusion and wonder in the early education years. We value you and your emphasis of joyful learning, Ms. Anna! #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY
A reminder that Kindergarten Round-Up is quickly approaching for families with students entering Kindergarten in the fall.
Free developmental screenings for children ages birth - 33 months. Call for an appointment.
REMINDER: There is no school tomorrow, Friday, April 18th.
Are you interested in early childhood for your 3 or 4 year old? Start here! Our screening schedules are open for April and May. Currently enrolled students do not need an updated screening. These screenings are the first step in having your child be considered for enrollment at the East Moline Early Learning Center, and are a great way to check-up on their overall development! Call today to schedule an appointment with Tara in our office!
