We are thrilled to be launching our 10th year in Shanghai! This is a year of reflection and celebration for us. We’re thinking about what we’ve accomplished during the past decade, bringing educators and therapists to China and developing programs and frameworks to help children and families. We are also reflecting on how Shanghai has evolved and how we can do things better to match what families need. Managing Director Monte Rosen shares his thoughts on turning 10 and talks about how we plan to celebrate with our community during the upcoming year.
We’ve also collected stories from our founders, staff and parents. Our three founders told us the amazing story behind ELG in a recent interview. Make sure to also check out some new stories and experiences from parents and staff at ELG.
This month’s newsletter is packed with some great content we’ve developed recently: a communication milestones checklist from our speech-language team, 10 ways to help your child learn through play, a sneak peek into Halloween at our full-time program (The Innovative Learning Center), and more!
Lastly, meet our new staff, including our newest member, Board-Certified Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Specialist, Joanne Li. We hope to see you at one of our celebrations during the year – and we hope you’re as excited as we are to celebrate together!
