🍀✨ St. Patrick’s Day fun at the ELC! 🍪🎉 Our school-age kids got creative building leprechaun traps, but while they didn’t catch one, they sure got a surprise visit! The mischievous leprechauns left behind everything needed to decorate delicious St. Patty’s Day cookies! 🍀🎨 It was a day filled with fun, adventure, and lots of sweet memories. 🍀🍪 #StPatricksDayFun #ELCAdventures #LeprechaunMagic #CookieDecorating #ELCCommunity

🌟 Exciting news from our classrooms! 🌟 Last spring, I applied to be part of a group of early learning educators participating in the Money Savvy program. This fall, we received our curriculum, and now our students are diving into fun, hands-on lessons about money—how it’s used, the importance of saving, and making smart choices! 💰✨ The best part? Each child will take home their very own piggy bank to continue their learning at home. 🐷💵 It’s been amazing to see their excitement and understanding grow!

Room One at the ELC wrapped up their building unit with a sweet twist! 🏗️ Our students had a blast creating their own structures using marshmallows and toothpicks, testing to see if they could stay standing. 🏠✨ This hands-on project helps our little learners develop problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork skills as they experiment and build. And of course, there were a few marshmallows enjoyed along the way too! 😋 #BuildingFun #STEMlearning #MarshmallowChallenge #CreativeMinds

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Relaxation at Kettle Falls Early Learning Center! 🧘‍♂️ We are excited to introduce yoga as part of our daily routine at the Kettle Falls Early Learning Center! 🏫✨ Transitioning to rest time can sometimes be a challenge for our little learners, so we’ve incorporated simple, child-friendly yoga exercises to help calm their minds and bodies. Through gentle stretching, deep breathing, and fun poses like “cat/cow” and “happy baby,” our students are learning valuable relaxation techniques. Not only does yoga help with winding down for rest time, but it also supports self-regulation, body awareness, and emotional well-being. ❤️ The results so far? Calmer transitions, happier kids, and a smoother rest time for all! 🌿💤 Plus, it’s a great way for children to develop lifelong skills in mindfulness and relaxation. Ask your little one about their favorite yoga pose today!

✨ Free choice time is more than just play—it’s where learning comes to life! ✨ When children have the freedom to choose their activities, they build independence, creativity, and problem-solving skills. It's also a perfect time for them to practice social interactions and explore their interests in a hands-on, meaningful way. 🧩🎨🚂 At KFELC, we empower little learners by giving them the space to discover and grow at their own pace. 🌟
