Gentle hands! Ms. Cari and Ms. Lynnea shared Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches with our little learners a few weeks ago! Thanks to Mrs. Reisetter at Winona Middle School for loaning us her special pets, and thanks to ECFE parent and wildlife professional Abbey Krumrie for teaching us that two gentle fingers is better than one, because it prevents children from poking, and accidentally harming, smaller creatures.

Check out this schedule. Happy lunching!

We've got another great at-home STEAM activity for you guys! Ms. Mikayla put together the simple ingredients of paper, markers, and scissors to create this magical lily pad flower experience for her ECFE class!!

Draw the outline of a flower like these on a piece of regular printer paper, and have your child color it in. Assist them in cutting it out if needed, and in GENTLY folding each petal over and into the center of the flower. Then, place your flower gently onto water, and watch it bloom!

We're so grateful for our time with your families this year, watching all your sweet children bloom and grow before our eyes.

We had our final Monday class today! We hope our students have an amazing summer! ☀️🕶️

We're SO excited to share ECFE's 2026 Summer Fun Guide for local families!

Winonans are fortunate to live somewhere rich in opportunities to make fantastic family memories. We can't wait to hear about yours - and see what you checked off this list - when we're back together in full force in September! BUT (!!) don't forget to come see us this summer!!

Thanks so much to our ECFE parents for putting this list together. If you come to one of our classes this week, you'll get a paper copy of this guide, but you can also access it here, in a Facebook-friendly format, and at the link below, if you're after a printable PDF.
