Calling all three and four year olds! We will be hosting Developmental Screenings in April and May, as we prepare for the 26-27 school year. Please reach out to our main office and schedule an appointment with Lindsay, if you would like your child to be considered for enrollment next school year. A screening IS required for all new students to determine eligibility for our programming. If your child is currently enrolled with us, a new screening is not required.
We have this AMAZING guest teacher that was a former music teacher. She has been with us all year, and has decided to take a full time position with us because she loves early childhood THAT MUCH! Please help us welcome Ms. Eli to her new role as an instructional paraprofessional in the Orange Classroom! Ms. Eli is a talented musician as well, which expands our school's access to musical opportunities, exposure to different instruments, and so much more. Thank you for joining our ELC School Family, Ms. Eli! #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY

Students are working hard in preparation for Kindness Day! Making cards is a great way to spread kindness, work on our literacy skills, print awareness, and fine motor skills! #growingthroughPLAY
Gross motor time is one very important way we are #growingthroughPLAY! When students get active, they are developing balance, coordination, self-confidence, peer interaction, communication skills, independence.......all while fostering cognitive growth!
