Otsukimi (お月見), the traditional Japanese Moon Viewing Festival! 🇯🇵✨

We talked about the beautiful autumn moon, susuki (Japanese pampas grass), and the little rabbit that Japanese tradition says can be seen on the moon making mochi. 🐇🌕

The children made beautiful Otsukimi crafts, and our big toddlers also pretended to make their own dango, the traditional round rice dumplings offered during Otsukimi. 🍡

One of our senseis visited a fire station in Japan and interviewed the firefighters especially for our Enso kids! 🇯🇵🚒❤️

When the firefighters heard this was for little children all the way in Brooklyn, they were so excited! They showed our sensei everything in detail, answered her questions, and even sent special gifts back to Brooklyn for our children. 🎁

Such a sweet connection between Japan and our little Enso community in Brooklyn. 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸

Summer is almost over☀️We made so many sweet memories 💛

Soon, we’ll be celebrating some of our little ones as they graduate from Enso and begin their next adventure. 🥹🎓 It’s going to be an emotional goodbye🌸

A couple of weeks ago we got tiny little caterpillars, and today we released our beautiful butterflies into our backyard. The kids were SO excited watching them grow every single day.

They got to gently touch the caterpillars, see the whole transformation, and one of our little friends even caught a butterfly and didn’t want to let it go. It was the cutest moment ever😍

Definitely one of our favorite summer memories. 💛

🎋✨ We celebrated Tanabata (Star Festival) at Enso today! ✨🌌

Our little ones learned the beautiful Japanese story of Orihime (the weaving princess) and Hikoboshi (the cowherd), who are separated by the Milky Way and are allowed to meet only once a year on the 7th day of the 7th month. 💙

The children created their own Milky Way craft and wrote special wishes.

May all of our little stars’ wishes come true. 🌟🎋

This month we explored some beautiful Japanese folktales together 🌸🐢👒

From Kaguya-hime, Urashima Taro, and Kasa Jizō, the children learned about helping others, respecting nature, and caring for family.

Through stories, crafts, and conversations, we turned these timeless tales into lessons the children can understand in their everyday lives🎋
