ECFE | Classes -
2024-2025 ECFE Classes

Your creative kid is learning skills such as naming colors, showing affection and hopping on one foot. In our Creative Kids class we help your child develop these and many other skills through play, song, stories and movement.

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) recognizes that parents are their child’s first and most important teachers. ECFE offers parents hands-on learning experiences and parenting discussions specific to their child's age that will help build the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

What happens in an ECFE class?

1. Parent and child interaction time: A licensed early childhood teacher and assistant provide developmentally appropriate activities, songs and stories for parents and children to enjoy together.

2. Child time: A time devoted to learning through play and activities with licensed teachers and assistants while parents participate in a parent discussion time in a separate room.

3. Parent Time: Parents or caregivers participate in a discussion led by a licensed parent educator. Joys and challenges of parenting are shared and topic discussions are designed to address the developmental needs of each group.

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) classes meet once a week. Together, parents and children participate in activities and experiences that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and language skills. ECFE teachers use the Parent Education Core Curriculum Framework and Early Childhood Indicators of Progress: Minnesota’s Early Learning Standards provided through the Minnesota Department of Education.

All classes are offered October through May.

ALL families are welcome. Early Learning Scholarships Are Available! Call today to find out more information! 218-879-9291
