ECFE Classes

  • Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is a special place for you and your young children ages birth-5. You can make friends with other parents who have children the same age as yours and share concerns, joys and challenges. Your child can play and learn with other children in a safe, supportive environment that is just right for their age. Our caring licensed staff who understand children and parenting are excited to partner with and support you and your child on your journey.
