"One of the most beneficial aspects of ECFE is the parent education time during class. Not only do you learn about things to help your child, but you find out other parents are going through the same things you are! You realize you are not alone in this parenting journey. At ECFE, you can find friends for your child and friends for you!" -Stacy Harter, Parent NATURE FAMILY FUN 5 $ FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN 4 & UNDER per child Pre-registration required On select Saturday mornings from 10:00–11:30 am, visit the Maplewood Nature Center to make nature discoveries and get resources to explore and protect your world together.
