“A child’s greatest achievements are possible in play, achievements that tomorrow will become her basic level of real action.”
- Lev S. Vygotsky

Just another fabulous day at ELM. Kids learning independently, and with friends and teachers. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing children absorbed in their play. We are currently enrolling for summer and fall. Private message for more information and please share!

This month we are studying community helpers. We are so appreciative of those in our community that sacrifice so much to keep us safe, happy, and healthy. This picture was taken at group time and reflects the sense of community we feel at ELM. ❤️ Kids taking time to listen, support, and help each other grow.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a child in the state of ‘flow’. What started as a simple creation became a complex and symmetrical robot. The other kids kept coming over to complement and marvel at his work. Pure joy!

SNEAK PEAK into ELM’s summer program for 2025! This summer we are introducing the ‘ELM Mini Makers Market’! Children, ages 3-7, will start their own little businesses and have an opportunity to share their products.

Last night’s Spooky STEM night was a HUGE success! Thank you to all the parents that went above and beyond to decorate their cars for our trunk-or-treaters. I was reminded again about what an incredible community we have at ELM. You all make it special. 🎃👻💀 Please tell us your favorite thing about last night!
