An Enchanted Childhood Preschool ~ Shells

 
 
Every year, when we return from the beach, we take a week or two to study the shells and the creatures that live in them.
 





wooden turtle magnets and sea shell and wooden bead necklaces





Summer Camp is over.  The children schooled elsewhere have gone off to their other schools.
And we begin the slower pace of preschool children (as well as a kindergartener!)
 
I (NanaKerri) am studying for my Montessori 3-6 (PreK and K) teacher's certification. 
You will notice the name change-- An Enchanted Childhood Preschool, as well as the Montessori learning activities!  We are very excited about this new direction.  I will run the morning preschool, with Hannah doing afternoon care for the 2-4 fulltime children that we have on any given day.
 











And, as always, we value crave lots and lots of free nature play! 
 








 
This new rhythm feels so good and so right!
