Baby and Me Saturdays (Non-separating Parenting component)
These six-week class sessions are offered at times convenient for busy families. While you play with your baby, a
licensed Parent Educator facilitates discussion and provides relevant information about your baby’s growth,
development and all those important ‘firsts’. Join us to share your ideas, experiences and concerns in a support-
ive, community environment. This relaxing class is designed to be educational, yet allow you to slow down long
enough to have some focused, uninterrupted time to enjoy your infant. This is a nonseparating class. For these
6-week courses, the age of your child on the start date determines your class eligibility. No sibling care provided.

One of the joys of attending an ECFE class is the opportunity to spend quality, one-on-one time with your child.
Our Sibling Care program makes that a little easier!
Sibling Care is available for 6-week to PreK children in your family while you attend an ECFE parenting class.
While you spend focused time with one child, you can rest assured that their sibling will be in a familiar,
welcoming environment under the supervision of our highly-trained, dedicated staff.
A few things to know about Sibling Care:
