Find & Seek was born in Brooklyn in 2013 as a project-based early childhood laboratory that focused on materials exploration, artistic creation, play and storytelling. Founders Elisha and Kristin curated and presented a beautiful array of natural objects and recycled materials and facilitated as children gave form to what they imagined. The goal was to listen to and shine light on children’s original stories, using educational tools such as dialogue, inquiry, creative process, collaboration and documentation. Out of these roots grew Willow Nest Studio in Windsor Terrace, and the Manny Cantor Center’s Rainbow Studio, and a legacy of teaching and learning, outgrowths of Elisha and Kristin’s work in NYC and CT.
Since we have written here . . . so many things have happened!
Elisha founded Willow Nest Studio in 2015, which we wrote about here in 2016. In the past ten years, it has gone on to serve many wonderful 3-5 year-olds in Brooklyn, and to take on a special place in the hearts of all those children’s families! Here are some images of practice from Elisha, to bring some joy to your day:
