Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is designed just for you and your little one! 💕
Through play, learning, and connection, you’ll:
✨ Build strong bonds with your child
✨ Discover new ways to support your child’s growth
✨ Connect with other parents who get it
✨ Have fun together in a welcoming, family-centered space
Our fall classes are open now—from playful parent-child activities to meaningful discussions with other caregivers. Whether your child is a newborn, toddler, or preschooler, ECFE has a place for you.
