Clay has been a favorite material for our little ones to work with... practicing rolling, creating coils, adding water to soften the clay... the kiddos have created beautiful candlestick holders... ready to fire & glaze!

Nature is the setting for our classroom this year. Our beautiful days have included a friendly bunny that seems to live in our garden, storytelling & a mud kitchen

A few of our late summer songs, poems & fingerplays

Our EBNS community of parents and kiddos is the foundation of our co-op! We’ve been staying connected all summer long through intentional activities. One of our mamas put together fragrant bouquets (thanks, Shannon!) and Teacher Tom dropped off diy flower crown kits to each of our students... looking forward to our first day this Monday!

Rainy day reading with a yummy Thunder Cake recipe

During the Summer months we would love to share how our EBNS community is keeping busy... . . The Poet’s Garden...have you been to this hidden gem at Highland Park? Across from the Lamberton Conservatory and kind of tucked away. Quaint little pathways that have Shakespearean quotes on the stone benches & wildflowers galore

Investigating flowers / science activities to do at home with your preschooler... grab a magnifying glass and get curious . . photo: @emilybeerskimmel inspiration from @amikolearningcenter & @playfullearning

Look up in the sky early Wednesday morning and Thursday evening to see May’s moon The Flower Moon It coincides with the blooming of spring flowers & is sure to be beautiful.

At EBNS our teachers are very intentional about creating a breathing-like rhythm to our days... breathing IN, as with listening to a story or resting, and breathing OUT, as in painting, creating artwork, dress up & imaginative play

Come on over today and have fun with us at our wonderful winter gathering!!! 11-2 today at Ellwanger-Barry Nursery School. Free! Crafts, entertainment, raffles, snacks. All to benefit our Scholarship and Hardship Fund! Hope you can make it!

The annual tapping of the trees. Our children took a hike today to set up our tree taps. Yummy syrup will be in our future.
