Early Learning News - Laurie Hume Assistant Director - Early Learning Hello Families! As the weather turns colder it is a great time to cuddle up and read with your child. The number one thing parents can do to help their child develop strong literacy skills is to read with them everyday. When children know the joy of books at home they are more willing to actively listen to books at school. To celebrate our love of books we will be hosting a book fair the first week in February. All of the books are geared toward toddlers and preschoolers. Please feel free to stop by and browse. This semester we are offering a new class called Conscious Kids. This class teaches families strategies to help children develop self regulation skills and social emotional skills. Self regulation skills increase a child’s ability to learn new information. We are also offering 2 free classes. A drop in Baby Class at Pilot Knob and Story Time at the Early Learning and Family Resource Center. In addition, we continue to offer home visits to any family in the district. If you have questions, concerns or just want information on parenting please let us know and a parent educator can come to you. I am looking forward to another fun filled ECFE semester. Thank you for sharing your little ones with us. We love teaching and working with you and your children.

About ECFE ECFE is a program that offers parents and their children from birth to pre-kindergarten opportunities to grow and learn together in a supportive, stimulating environment. ECFE also supports families in learning to find time for one another, having fun together, being proud of who they are and knowing they are not alone. You will find fall semester classes and more information about ECFE in this section of the brochure. Information on preschool options is on pages 16-17 .

What are ECFE classes like? Classes are held in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. Most sessions last 1½ to 2 hours. A typical session begins with time for parents and children to enjoy classroom activities together. Then, children play and learn under the supervision of a licensed early childhood teacher, while parents share experiences and ideas with other parents and a licensed parent educator.

What do we know about the effectiveness of ECFE? Participant feedback and current research show that ECFE is a major resource to families with young children. It sets the stage for parent involvement and children’s success in K-12 education. It has proven effective with all kinds of families, and many even believe that ECFE creates more caring communities as it brings families from all income levels and backgrounds together around their common concerns as parents. School District 197 is serious about supporting families and children. Let us know how we can serve you better!
