Empowering the Youngest Voices

We’re so proud to share that our Early Years and Elementary School Principal, Ms. Lucila Zornosa-Sanchez, will be co-presenting with Amity, one of our EY/ES students (age 5), at the upcoming ACAMIS Early Childhood Education (ECE) Conference in Shanghai!

November 8–9, 2025

Yew Chung International School of Shanghai (Puxi Ronghua Campus)

Conference Theme: “It’s All About Me”

Session Highlights

Their session “Little Leaders, Big Impact: Nurturing Leadership in the Early Years” celebrates the idea that leadership begins from the earliest stages of learning. Even our youngest learners can inspire, organize, and make a difference when they are given trust, voice, and opportunity.

Agency in Action: How young children take ownership of meaningful projects when given voice and responsibility.

Practical Leadership Strategies: Ways to scaffold leadership through roles, collaboration, and reflection.

Redefining Leadership: Seeing Kindergarteners as capable leaders who impact their communities.

Amity’s participation as a young student leader and co-presenter perfectly embodies this year’s theme — reminding us that every child’s world is full of identity and belonging.

Congratulations to our team for inspiring young leaders who continue to shine bright, beyond the classrooms of CISB!
