Early Childhood Family Education



Parents who take an active role in their child’s education have children who do better in school and life!  If you have a young child under the age of 5, please join us for ECFE!  Early Childhood Family Education Classes are fun for both children and parents!  Hope to see you there!

Early Childhood Family Education – ECFE is a program for children and their parents to participate in together.  Classes are held weekly.  Each class has time for parents and children to do activities together and then a time when they separate.  During the separation time, children are with a teacher and assistants and are able to participate in activities with peers while parents meet with each other and a parent educator to discuss topics important to parents. ECFE is open to all children birth to Kindergarten entrance.  There is a fee to participate based on a sliding fee scale.

Contact ECFE staff for class schedules and to learn more about our programs.
