Grandparents Class

2024-2025 ECFE Classes

Grandparents are a valuable resource because they have so many stories and experiences from their own lives to share. Our Grandparents Class provides an excellent opportunity for you to play and explore the classroom with your grandchild(ren). Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) recognizes that grandparents can be one of a child’s first and most important teachers. ECFE offers grandparents hands-on learning experiences and discussions specific to their grandchild's age that will help build the foundation for a lifetime of learning.

What happens in an ECFE class?

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

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

3. Grandparent Time: Grandparents participate in a discussion led by a licensed parent educator. Joys and challenges of grandparenting 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!
