Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) 

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) recognizes that parents are their child’s first and most important teachers. ECFE offers parents hands-on learning experiences that will nourish a lifetime of teachable moments.

All ECFE classes are taught by licensed early childhood teachers and parent educators to provide the quality education parents are looking for.

A typical ECFE class includes:

Parent-Child Interaction - Time where parent and child together enjoy a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate learning activities.

Parent Education - Provides relevant, effective education and support that encourages a healthy environment for the growth and development of families.

Children’s Activity Time - During parent education time, children explore, gain independence, and practice social skills while under the supervision of a licensed children’s teacher.

ECFE classes will resume in September!
Catalog and registration available in August.
