Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)
Come for your child. Stay for yourself.
ECFE helps you and your child feel more happy and confident in school. We focus on play-based learning that is hands-on and mind-on. All classes include parent and child-led play and a circle time with stories and songs. There is also a time for the parents to discuss parenting topics with a licensed parent educator. During parent group, the children are guided in their learning by a licensed early childhood teacher.
Our program supports you to:
-
Understand your child’s development
-
Enhance parenting strategies
-
Provide opportunities to develop social and emotional awareness
-
Develop problem solving skills with your child
-
Learn techniques to guide child behavior
-
Gain friendships with other families
-
Build your connection with the school district
-
Access to community resources
