About ECFE
-
ECFE is an early childhood and parent education program for children ages birth to five
and their families. We believe that parents are a child’s first and most important teacher, and
offer many ways for you to learn together. We do this by providing the following services:- Classes and Drop-in Playtimes
- One-to-one visits: information about children and parenting can be brought to your home
- Early Childhood Screening
- School Readiness Preschool
An ECFE separating class begins with parents and children playing and exploring in the
Early Childhood classroom together with activities planned by a licensed Early Childhood teacher.The children continue to explore the room as the parents move into the Parent Education room.
During this time parents ask questions, share parenting issues and discuss a variety of topics with other parents led by a licensed Parent Educator.No family will be denied participation due to inability to pay.
Non‑separating classes: During our non‑separating classes parents and children remain together in the room the entire time enjoying learning activities and parent information.
