Let Me Play. Trust Me, I'm Learning. At ESNS we feel that the lifelong process of learning is best fostered in early childhood through play.

We believe that children learn best when they are allowed the freedom and opportunity to play and explore with limited, but structured, direction from adults. Periods of activity and quiet play include:

Outdoor playground activities
Nature walks on the grounds
Dramatic play
Group games
Music-making
Cooking
Art projects
Block and building play
Water play
Field trips
Science projects
Spanish lessons

We have an exciting new opportunity to be a part of our redesigned playscape in the Ethical Woods! 🌳

🐿️🐢 Along the path in the Ethical Woods, we will have nine stone woodland animal sculptures, from a squirrel to a raccoon to a giant turtle!

Here’s where you come in- our new animal friends need adoptive parents! After paying an adoption fee, you (or your child) will get to name the animal, and you’ll receive an official adoption certificate for the woodland animal!

🔗 Check the link in our bio to see which animals are still available, and email [email protected] to adopt your animal!
