These classes are a great way to have fun together with your little ones(s) ages from birth to 5 years. Classes include songs, stories, fingerplays, art projects, family playtime, and parent discussion with a parent educator. We believe you are your child's first and most powerful teacher. We want to help you on that journey!
What does a typical ECFE class include? Most ECFE classes meet once a week for two hours and include:
Parent-Child Activity Time, where families explore a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate play and learning activities planned by a licensed early childhood teacher.
Parent Discussion Time, where parents meet with a licensed parent educator to share support, experiences and information about child development and parenting techniques.
Child Activity Time, where children learn with a licensed early childhood teacher and paraprofessional to practice social skills as they interact with other children.
To register, contact Beka Swisher at Mid State Education District at 320-631-2509 or email bswisher@midstate.k12.mn.us. Classes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Note that ECFE will NOT meet if the District Schools are not in session on that particular day.
Parents can still register even if the classes have started.
