WHAT IS EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION/ECFE? Weekly classes have three parts: LEARNING TOGETHER During the first half hour of class, choose from many planned activities designed just for you and your child. PURPOSEFUL PLAY FOR CHILDREN The remaining portion of class is designed for children to learn through play with their peers. All children benefit from guidance of a licensed early childhood teacher and experienced educational assistant. The goal is to help children develop a healthy self – concept and a love for learning. In several ECFE classes, parents, and children remain together for the entire class time. Look for the “NS” (Non-separating) next to the class on the schedule below. All other classes have a separating format including a parent component. CONNECTING WITH OTHERS While children are learning with their teachers, parents join together in an informal group setting for an informal group discussion on family topics; they share ideas, learn more about their child’s development and benefit from feeling connected to other parents with similar issues. Early Childhood Family Education weekly schedule at a glance “NS” means Non-Separating; parents and children remain together for this class.
