HOW ARE CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES OFFERED? ECFE classes include three components. Parent and child interaction time focuses on activities and learning together. Children’s programming is taught by a licensed early childhood educator and focuses on age appropriate activities for your child. Parent discussion time is led by a licensed parent educator and centers on a specific topic related to your child and their developmental stage. Interaction with other parents in an informal group discussion takes place in the parent education room for separating classes and in another area of the same room for non-separating classes.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ECFE? The program encourages positive parental interactions that affect how children develop and learn. Research has shown that ECFE programs involving parents with their children are more effective than programs focusing exclusively on children. ECFE also offers a toy lending library and resources on parenting and child development.
ARE THERE FEES? There are fees for classes and there is a sliding fee scale based on a family’s income. No one will be turned away due to an inability to pay. WHERE IS ECFE LOCATED? ECFE is located at Goodview School 5100 West 9th Street. Early Childhood Screening, Community KIDS Preschool and Early Childhood Special Education are also located at Goodview School.
