About Early Childhood Family Education

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is a program for parents and their children during the years from birth up to kindergarten. Our mission is to provide quality learning opportunities and resources for all young families in our district. ECFE is a fun, informal place to meet, learn and play with other parents and young children. We offer a wide variety of classes, one-time events, a family literacy program and several special opportunities.

Weekly classes
ECFE offers classes Monday through Friday during the mornings, afternoons and evenings. These classes meet weekly in the same location with the same staff. A quarterly ECFE Catalog lists all class offerings. Although a fee is charged for most quarterly classes, it is our policy that no family is turned away due to inability to pay.

One-Time Events
There are many ways to enjoy ECFE during the week! Drop-in Times, Speaker Nights and special events will also be advertised in the quarterly ECFE Catalog.


Special Opportunities
ECFE also offers special class opportunities because we recognize the diversity of needs and concerns parents may have. These special opportunities include a Teen/Young Parent class and Family Connection Plus (a collaboration with Family Service, Inc., includes a home visiting option). For more information on these offerings, please visit our ECFE Catalog.

New Baby
Congratulations on the arrival of your baby! Infancy is a very important time in the life of your child as well as a wonderful and challenging time for parents. Please take a moment and update our records with your baby’s name and birth date on our New Baby Census Form.
