Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)ECFE Is here for you and your child! ECFE welcomes parents or caregivers to attend classes with a child from birth to age 5. Classes are organized by age to provide developmentally-appropriate activities. Parent education is an important part of ECFE, and all weekly classes include a discussion period with a licensed parent educator. Weekly classes meet the entire school year; one-time and 3-week-long classes are also available.Category
