Young Explorers


Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) / Parent-Child Classes -
ECFE 2324 School Year

Add-On Class: Registration Required

The Young Explorers series allows for play and learning focused on a different theme for each class. Classes meet Tuesdays for 3 weeks from 1-2:30pm. Please note that classes may include guest speakers and field trips. This is a separating class, and parenting time will include discussions of theme-related topics as well as general joys and concerns. Sibling care is available for onsite days for an additional $10 per child per class.

Notes for registration: There is no lottery for Young Explorers classes; you will be able to register for any session where there is room. You may register for Young Explorer classes in addition to a year-long weekly class, but each class should be its own enrollment. Register for your primary class or first add-on class, then select Continue Shopping instead of Checkout. Add your next Young Explorers class and repeat the process until you have registered for all the classes you want. At checkout you will be asked for a payment method (credit card or checking account), which will be charged only for the Young Explorers class(es). Any other ECFE registrations will be held for the lottery.

When you check out and your registration is complete, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive this email, your registration may not be processed. Please login to Eleyo again and confirm that you have provided an active email address and that you have complete all the required fields for registration.
