So many familiar faces from our favorite picture books on Storybook Character Day at EECC today! And a big preschool thank you to local author Kim Howard for sharing her book Grace and Box with us! 📚

While we weren’t *quite* brave enough to bring live preschoolers to our update at Monday evening’s school board meeting, we did bring in their voices by video, sharing some of their favorite facets of EECC. Enjoy! youtu.be/b6PMyqg2FiE

Thank you to our EECC and EPS friends for giving so generously for our Caring Community Project! What a joy this week to see little hands carrying big loads to make a HUGE difference! 💪

Look what our friends at Edgewood Jr. High are doing! When we say we’re a caring, daring, preparing school corporation, this is what we mean. These are the kinds of citizens we’re working to empower — from preschool to high school and beyond! 💚💙💛❤️🖤 heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/edu…

We are hiring a new custodian! This is a really special position because this person will be part of our preschool lunch crew: setting up tables, opening yogurt, and building relationships with our kids. Know someone who would be a good fit? Apply here! indeed.com/q-Richland-Bea…

This week, friends came by with an ornament they had sanded, painted, and decorated. As they gave it to me, they jumped, laughed, and spun. Preschoolers care so deeply about their adults’ well-being! Our joy is theirs, too. Wishing you and your children joy together this season!

We have missed our families so very much during the pandemic and are thrilled about this grant from the Community Foundation of Bloomington & Monroe County to build an outdoor gathering space to resume and expand family, class, and community events. 🎉 cfbmc.org/creating-commu…

Preschoolers are so fascinated with building. 🧱 Many days, I visit our classrooms before checking the progress on our new early childhood facility. I get to see masters in construction everywhere I go! 🧰

So fun to have Silly Safaris with this week to introduce us to their furry, scaly, and feathery friends! Having community guests back in the building feels like one more baby step back to normal life at school. Thanks for the invite, Edgewood Primary! 🦅🐊🐍

Our R-BB STEAM coach shared some Snow Day activities to help preschoolers practice our learning goal of following complex directions and this happy friend shared how she succeeded today! E-learning? More like Eeeeeeee!-Learning! ☺️❄️☕️

Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year opens (online only) at 10:00am on Tuesday, March 1! Mark your calendars -- we expect we'll fill quickly! You can find class offerings and other important information here: rbbschools.net/edgewood-early… 💚

How do you know spring is on the way? One way we can tell at EECC is the growth 🌱 we always see this time of year. From writing to reading to opening our own applesauce, we are gaining independence! 👊 It’s a joy to hear kids say, “I can do this now!” 💚

A big “thank ewe” 🐑 to our friends from Edgewood High School FFA for dropping by our circle times during National FFA Week to share their stories and knowledge of agriculture. Without getting too corny, it’s “bean” great having you with us! 🌽

Join us in celebrating Amber Harrison, one of the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 Educators of the Year! We believe Amber is the first preschool educator to win this award, and her students and families will be the first to tell you she is so worthy of the honor! 🎉

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! EECC has moved in to our brand new building! Thanks to our friends at the H-T for your visit yesterday. We look forward to welcoming more visitors in the days to come! 🗞️ heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/edu…

Spotlight on our superstar Student Resource Officer, Alec Leggio! Every time Alec visits, we get to see what a faithful, gentle, and kind helper he is for our community. We think you’ve got a future in early childhood if this law enforcement thing doesn’t work out, Alec! 👮‍♂️

Warmed our hearts today (to say the least!) to have families back in our building to play with their preschoolers and see our new building for the first time! So, so many smiles! 🎉🙌☺️

A big thank you to Team First Book and Duke Energy for sending each of today's pre-K students home with not one, not two, not three, but FOUR brand new books! If you'd like to join in the gratitude, shoot them an email at [email protected]! 📕📗📘📙🥳
