Our older preschool friends have been busy cooking up something fun the last couple of weeks! ✨

Thanks to Los Molinos, we had the chance to enjoy a delicious complimentary breakfast while learning all about tacos! 🌮 ✨ Our chef even gave us an exclusive kitchen tour and showed us some knife safety tips! 👨‍🍳

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Fall Friendship Fest! ✨🍁🍂

Diwali, which is celebrated in South Asian nations, is commemorated by the lighting of oil lamps to honor the goddess of riches and prosperity Lakshmi. Happy Diwali! ✨

Here at AELC we believe early intervention is best practice. We have partnered with MSU to bring free speech screenings and speech therapy to the children in our care.

AELC is an intergenerational learning environment! Pictured above is a university lab student who’s able to learn from the AELC children, a younger preschool teacher who believes her students are her biggest teachers, and an aspiring gym teacher who’s able to practice their craft with AELC’s older preschool students.
