Whether it’s riding bikes, playing “party” with sand food, blowing grass whistles, or cleaning up, at the ELC our teachers get down on the level of our students. We participate in order to build relationships and to teach by example. Social/emotional growth is an overarching goal here at the Kettle Falls ELC!
