Classes are designed for any and all families with children ages birth through 5. At ECFE, we understand that you are your child's first and most influential teacher. Our goal is to support you in your child-raising journey and it is our mission to provide the best possible environment for the healthy growth and development of your child. ECFE offers a variety of classes and you may join a class any time during the school year. As your child is exploring growing independence, these classes will provide opportunities to practice social skills, early literacy and math skills, creative art and more! The classroom will have engaging learning centers that will develop school readiness skills. Parents will have the opportunity to develop connections with other parents, learn how to support your child's needs, gain parenting skills, a positive support system, social skills for your child and a first introduction to school!
