Steam Night
🚀🎨 Hold onto your hats! Our STEAM Night was off the charts, especially with our preschool crew leading the charge. We plunged headfirst into the mysteries of light and shadows. Picture this: shadow puppets, groovy shadow dancing, and crafting sun catchers that’d make the sun jealous. These kiddos? They're the next-gen scientists and artists, and they’re showing us how it's done! #PreschoolPower #STEAMNightRocks 🌟💃
Bike Rodeo
🚴♀️🌟 Exciting News Alert! 🌟🚴♂️
The ECAC just hosted its inaugural Bike Rodeo, and it was a blast! Kids had a wheel-spinning good time navigating through an obstacle course on their bikes. Plus, they let their creativity shine at the bike decorating station. Safety first: every rider got their very own helmet!
But that's not all! Our young adventurers also dove into the wonders of the ocean, courtesy of the Aquatic Center. They learned about fascinating creatures like horseshoe crabs and seastars, adding an extra splash of knowledge to their day.
Here's to many more pedal-powered adventures and educational discoveries ahead! 🚲🌊 #ECACBikeRodeo #PedalAndLearn
