Attending Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meetings is a great way to learn more about the school district and make personal connections with other families attending ECFE and preschool programs. The parent volunteers of the PAC support your ECFE and preschool programs by sharing their energy, ideas and suggestions. Meetings are held the second Monday of each month during the school year from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Child care is provided. 763-506-1500 ahschools/ECFEPAC (Birth-9 months) The transition to being a new parent is joyous but can be tremendously overwhelming. You are sleep deprived, overwhelmed, emotional, excited, worried if what your baby is doing is normal and have an endless amount of questions. Nothing can really prepare you for having a baby, but having the most current, research-based information along with relevant discussions led by a parenting educator will help guide and support you on your journey as a new parent. Plus, you will be in the company of other new parents who are also on the same journey. Each week you will learn so much more than you ever expected or thought you needed to know, all while making friends, strengthening the bond with your baby and of course laughing and crying! Let’s just be honest, there’s a lot of crying after a new baby.

 Join us with your baby (age birth to 9 months) for weekly discussions. There is no need to register and no cost to attend - you may join at any time!
