Classes and services for parents of young children focusing on ways to support children's learning and development.

Description

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is a statewide program that offers caregivers of young children a space to connect with other families and participate in activities that support both parenting and children's learning and development.

ECFE supports parents and caregivers as their child's first and most important teachers. Trained parent educators walk beside parents and children, respectfully guiding activities and parent-led conversations.
