ECFE 2.0
If you’ve been in ECFE classes for more than a year or perhaps you have
two children and are ready to move beyond toilet learning and toddler
tantrums, then this is the class for you! As you transition from parenting little
ones to bigger kids, it’s time to shift discussions to a focus on preschool
and early elementary school parenting. Topics may include kids and money,
negotiating friendships, organization ideas for parents and more.

NEW! A Taste of
Preschool PLUS!
A new twist for those young
preschool-aged children and their
siblings! On Tuesdays, all children
enjoy classroom activities together
with their parents. Then when
the parents go to the parenting
discussion, the ‘big’ kids (ages
three up to kindergarten) go to
the preschool classroom while the
younger siblings continue to play in
the ECFE classroom. On Thursdays,
the preschool-aged children (ages
three up to kindergarten) come back
to school for a continued opportunity
to experience a preschool classroom.
