ECFE Fall/Winter 2025 Information

What is ECFE? 
Recognizing that parents are a child's first and most significant teachers, ECFE offers a variety of classes and resources for parents and children birth through kindergarten age. ECFE helps build healthy families and sets the stage for parent involvement and chil­dren's success in Kindergarten to Grade 12. 
Most ECFE classes include: 
Parent-Child Activity Time where families explore a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate play and learning activities planned by a licensed early childhood teacher. 
Parent Discussion Time where par­ents meet with a licensed parent educa­tor to share support, experiences, and information about child development and parenting techniques. 
Children's Activity Time where chil­dren learn with the licensed early child­hood teacher and paraprofessional and practice social skills as they interact with each other. 


Benefits of ECFE 
ECFE works to strengthen families and engage the ability of all parents to pro­vide the best possible environment for the healthy development of their chil­dren. 
Research on early brain development, parent-child relationships, child devel­opment, and guidance techniques are presented as practical information for parents.
