ECFE TODDLERS AND TWOS CLASSES

There is no“ one-size-fits-all” approach to raising them. The information and tools ECFE offer during the toddler and two-year-old stage are designed to support families in creating their own ways to promote their children’ s growth and development.
Toddlers and Twos classes are separating classes which means parents / caregivers spend half of the class time together with their child and half in parenting education while the child stays with an early childhood teacher.
My Two-year-old & My New Baby!( Birth to 35 months) This class is designed for two-year-olds and their brand-new baby sibling. It will focus on addressing the emotional, social, and developmental aspects of this family transition. Parent discussions will include navigating the demands of caring for two young children, managing the initial stages of sibling rivalry, and other topics determined by the group.
