Dear ELC Families,

We hope you are enjoying the arrival of spring! We have some exciting updates to share with you.

Our peer screenings are now complete — thank you to all of the families who participated. We are now getting ready to move forward with the lottery for next school year, so stay tuned for more details coming soon!

In the meantime, we are thrilled to welcome the warmer weather and all that it brings! With the snow finally behind us, we have brought out our new playground equipment, and the children have absolutely loved exploring it. The new climber and firetruck have been a huge hit, and it has been so wonderful to watch the kids enjoy them!

We are so excited to continue introducing new materials and equipment to support your child's Gross Motor development. These opportunities to move, climb, and explore are such an important part of their growth, and we love seeing them thrive!

As always, thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to a wonderful spring season together!

Warm regards,

Frank Rich, Principal

Meghan Thomson, Assistant Principal
