ECFE Classes

ECFE Basics

ECFE classes are meant for children and their parent/caregiver.  We have a licensed Parent Educator as well as a licensed Early Childhood Educator that teach each class session.  Parent discussion is a valuable part of each week's class.  Guided activities are planned for each week.  ECFE is a great place to learn about yourself and your child!  We would love to see you at class!

We will be offering 3 ECFE sessions this year!

Weekly ECFE Classes - 8 week session

Birth thru 3 year classes are set up with age-appropriate activities in a safe environment geared towards building skills and confidence.  Smaller age brackets offer parents the opportunity to meet other families with similar aged children.   Classes typically do not separate.  A licensed parent educator is available to go over parenting topics.

3 years to 5 years class - This class is an opportunity to do preschool together with your child! You and your child will explore new activities and play together. Your child will be learning about interacting with others, taking turns and problem solving.  This class will have parent separation with a licensed parent educator to go over parenting topics.

Dec. 6, 13, 20, Jan. 10, 17, 24, 31, Feb. 7
