Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)
A typical ECFE class includes parent/child time with activities, stories, and parent-only discussion groups that are held at the same time as the child-only experiences. Additional services include special family events, home-visiting, and connections to other community resources.
There are classes for all ages of children, infants through five-year-olds. Classes are held during school hours and in the evening. Families may register through our office at Brookside Education Center 211 W Richway Drive, by telephone (507.379.4831), or online on our website by clicking here.
Parents often comment on how important ECFE has been to their lives. Some of the effects reported include:
- Higher self-esteem and coping
- Increased recognition of a parent’s role as the child’s teacher
- Better techniques to control children’s behavior
- A greater sense of control over one’s life
- The chance to meet other parents of young children
- Increased knowledge of child development
