Enso Daycare Park Slope

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🎋

It’s rainy season in Japan. 🌧️ We made Teru Teru Bōzu (てるてる坊主), a traditional Japanese weather charm for wishing sunny days. The children painted and decorated their own using their favorite colors! 🎨💕

🐈‍⬛ Our Studio Ghibli Week has come to an end!

The children explored many activities inspired by Studio Ghibli and had a wonderful time. They were especially excited because many of the characters and stories were already familiar to them. One of their favorite parts was listening to music by Joe Hisaishi throughout the day, which created a magical atmosphere in the classroom.

From imaginative play to creative projects, the children truly brought the spirit of Ghibli to life and even created their own little Ghibli world right here in Brooklyn!🌳🍃☘️🪴
