ECFE is a parenting education program for all Minnesota families with children between the ages of birth to Kindergarten entrance. Learning opportunities through ECFE may occur in a variety of settings, such as the families' homes, district or community sites, and online parenting education and support. Programming and education services often include parents/caregivers and children but may just include parents/caregivers. Classes and special events are planned to be enjoyable learning experiences for both parents and children together. Classes usually meet once a week for 90 minutes during the fall, winter, and spring sessions. A typical ECFE class begins with a "parent-child time," where parents and children participate in fun learning activities together. Families join together for a circle time to enjoy songs and finger plays. Parents later join a parenting discussion by a parent educator while children continue their play with an early childhood teacher in the children's classroom. Works to strengthen families and engage the ability of all parents to provide an environment that supports the healthy development of their child. Services may include: - Parent-child activities - Parent discussion groups - Play and learn activities for children - Home visits - Special events for the entire family - Book and toy lending library - Information on community resources - Programs for non-English language learners - Workshops on specific topics - School readiness program for children age 3 1/2 - 4 - Early childhood screening for children ages 3 - 5 - Dad and child programs - Single parent program
