Did you know that playing with playdough actually strengthens the same tiny hand muscles children will later use for writing, buttoning, and tying shoes? As children squeeze, roll, pinch, and shape playdough, they’re building fine‑motor control, hand eye coordination, and early pre‑writing skills all through simple, joyful play. It’s one of the most powerful (and calming!) sensory tools in early childhood development.

At our Midtown location, the Coastal class has been filled with chemists! The children were invited to explore chemical reactions with baking soda and vinegar, observe how oil reacts in water, and manipulate different tools to see how water moves! This activity provides an opportunity for strengthening fine motor skills while building early scientific thinking. Through playful investigation, our young learners are developing curiosity, confidence, and a love for discovery!

Jen has been part of our team now for five years! As the lead of our preschool classroom at our UMED location, Jen creates a space where children feel welcome to explore, create, and express themselves. Making sure there is something for every student to engage in based on their personal preferences and learning style. We also admire her positive attitude when it comes to messy activities! She understands how meaningful they are for young learners. When children are allowed to work with messy materials, we are supporting their brain development, fine motor skills, and social skills! And we absolutely love the way Jen incorporates them into her everyday routines with enthusiasm and purpose. Thank you, Jen, for your many years of dedication to ELFE! We appreciate everything you bring to the UMED team.

We had a blast celebrating National Guinea Pig Day across all three locations! Our classrooms spent the day learning interesting Guinea pig facts, singing silly guinea pig songs, and creating their very own cozy guinea pig homes. All while spoiling our beloved, Bruce, Cottonball, Bonsi, and Bamboo with their favorite treats; fresh fruits and veggies, and plenty of gentle pets from the students. It was a day full of curiosity, creativity, and cuddles as our students learned how to care for animals with kindness.

Alison has been part of our team now for seven years! Alison brings tons of fun energy into the work environment, creating a space for not all the students to feel cared for and supported but all the staff as well. Alison leads with authenticity and joy, qualities that make her a strong and incredible leader. Over her time at ELFE Alison has worn many hats: childcare teacher, RBT, site administrator, and now she is our South location’s BCBA! Each role showing and demonstrating her adaptability, commitment to growth, and her dedication to ELFE. With determination and grit, Alison put in the work to achieve this huge milestone, and we couldn’t be more proud of her. Thank you, Alison for everything you do for ELFE, we look forward to watching you grow as a BCBA as you continue to bring joy and support to the team!

The Adventurers class at our UMED location has been busy learning about habitats. They squished and scooped moon sand to build cozy little homes for animals, created colorful fish using Q-Tips, explored bubble wrap, and splashed around in bright blue water with swimming toy fish. All through play the children are exploring different textures, developing strong fine motor skills, and learning how to share materials with friends.

Morgan has recently celebrated one year with ELFE! Morgan is one of our incredible support staff at our South location. We love how Morgan jumps into any classroom and leads by example in whatever activity that is happening, whether it be dancing at circle time or exploring different art media, Morgan is ready to participate alongside the class showing them how fun and exciting it all can be! Something we admire about Morgan is their ability to have in-depth conversations with the students on many different topics, encouraging them to think deeply, ask questions, and outside of the box! This helps students grow into confident and curious learners. Thank you, Morgan, for what you have to offer to our team. We appreciate you, your kind spirit, and the creative energy you bring to ELFE!

Life is sweet here at ELFE! Staff from each location were invited to bring a friend or two, a batch of cookies, and join in a charming Tea Party! Our very own Dana lead us in decorating some festive cookies, while we sipped on tea and ate tasty treats. It was a wonderful gathering, full of laughter, creativity, and the kind of warmth that makes ELFE feel like home.

Kaeleigh has celebrated another year with ELFE! She is one of our highly dedicated RBTs at our UMED and Midtown locations. Kaeleigh brings professionalism along with creativity and fun to each of her sessions, creating an environment where her clients feel supported and engaged. She takes the time to truly get to know each child, prioritizing their individual interests and needs. Her ability to observe, adapt, and move forward is a strength that never goes unnoticed. We admire her inquisitive personality, a trait that makes for a strong RBT, wanting to understand more than what's at the surface.
