What is ECFE?
Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is based on the idea that parents
provide their child's first and most significant learning environment and
parents are children's first and most enduring teachers. ECFE works to support
you as a parent/caregiver and to strengthen and empower families. The goal is
to enhance the ability of all parents and other family members to provide the
best possible environments for their child's learning and development.

Who goes to ECFE?
l   Parents and other caring adults who have a significant relationship in a
    child's life.
l   Parents who are looking for friends for their child, parents who are looking
    for friends for themselves.
                                                                                                 PARENT- CHILD TIME

After attending class each week, families will leave with new ideas, resources
and activities to practice what they have learned to support and encourage the
growth and development of families.

     Non-Separating class
Parents and children will engage in classroom activities led by a teacher for the
entire class. During parent education discussion time, children and parents will
remain in the same classroom. Children will play nearby with other children
and the children's teacher. Children are able to visually see and connect with
their adult as needed.

     Separating class
Parents and children will engage in classroom activities led by a teacher for part
of the class and then separate into a parent only group and children's group,
each led by teachers. When separation occurs, parents will join together for
parent education discussion time with a parent educator in another classroom.
During parent education discussion time, children will remain in their original
classroom and participate in classroom activities with a children's teacher.

     Parent and Child Play Time
Parents and children will engage in classroom activities led by a teacher for the
entire play time. Group sizes will be up to twelve children with their adult in
