ECFE+1 Age Group: 3-year-olds Overview: ECFE+1 is a unique early childhood class designed for families who want to provide their 3-year-old with additional classroom experience and socialization opportunities. This program blends the supportive, parent-child engagement of Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) with the structured learning environment of a traditional preschool. Class Structure: Parent & Child Day: Once per week, parents attend with their child for an interactive ECFE session. This time includes guided play, early learning activities, and a parenting discussion facilitated by an early childhood educator. Parents will gain insights into child development and strategies to support learning at home. Preschool Day: On the second day each week, children attend independently, experiencing a preschool-style classroom with hands-on activities, peer interactions, and foundational learning experiences that build social-emotional and early academic skills. Benefits of ECFE+1: ✔️ A gentle transition into structured learning for young children ✔️ Quality time for parents and children to learn together ✔️ Socialization and peer interactions in a classroom setting ✔️ Confidence-building experiences for both children and parents Join us for ECFE+1 and give your child a strong start in their early learning journey!
