ECFE: Early Childhood Family EducationECFE: Early Childhood Family Education

You are your child's first and most important teacher. Our ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) classes can help you with that role. Our high quality classes are for you and your young children - birth to pre-kindergarten age. A typical class meets once a week and includes:
  • Parent-Child Activity. Time where you and your child together enjoy a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate play and learning activities. You'll take home new ideas for things you can do together.
  • Parent Discussion. You'll meet with other parents and a licensed parent educator to share support, experiences, and information about child development and parenting techniques.
  • Children's Activity Time. While you are in Parent Discussion (in separating classes), children learn and play with licensed early childhood teachers. Children practice social skills and will enjoy music, art, stories, and large/small muscle activities.
Fees for the classes are on a sliding fee scale according to family income. No one will be turned away because of inability to pay
