EARLY CHILDHOOD ECFE EXPERIENCETECHNOLOGY SUPPORT FRIENDSHIPEARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION (ECFE) FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN BIRTHTO BEFORE KINDERGARTENECFE is based on the idea that the family provides a child’s first and most significant learning environment and parents are a child’s first and mostimportant teachers. Parents shape a child’s development and set the stage for future learning and growth. That’s why ECFE offers a variety ofclasses that provide information, encouragement and support for children AND their parents.»» ECFE offers hands-on learning opportunities for you to explore new experiences, meet other families, and grow and learn together with your child.»» ECFE serves all families in ISD 728 with children age birth to Kindergarten.»» All ECFE instructing staff have, at minimum, a four-year degree plus teaching licensure in Parent Education, Early Childhood Education or Early Childhood Family Education and provide the quality education parents expect.► WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE COME TO ECFE PARENT/CHILD ACTIVITIES? »» Staff will greet you and the room will be set up with age-appropriate activities. »» Usually there are three parts to the sessions: time together for parents and children, parent discussion time and children’s activity and exploration time. »» Non-separating classes are classes where the parent discussion is in the room with the children. »» Separating classes are classes where the parents move to a different room and children remain in their classroom for activities.► WHAT ARE THE ACTIVITIES? »» Activities will be set up in the classroom. There will be a variety of activities depending on the ages of the children. »» You and your child can choose what you want to try; we encourage you to “take your child’s lead” and enjoy the special time together. »» At times we will do group activities with all parents and children.► WHAT HAPPENS DURING PARENT DISCUSSION TIME? »» While your child participates in the children’s time in the ECFE classroom with the Early Childhood Educator, you’ll meet with parents and the ECFE Parent Educator. »» Parent discussion will be in the children’s room for parents with young children; it will be in another room for parents with older children. »» It’s a comfortable situation where you’ll be able to talk about the joys and concerns of parenting. You’ll be able to take time to look at and consider many ideas. Research tells us that getting information and support for our role as parents is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and our children!► WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE CHILDREN’S TIME AND HOW WILL PARENTS BE INVOLVED? »» The children participate in activities in the classroom when moms, dads or caregivers participate in the discussion. »» The Early Childhood Educator prepares the room and activities gauged for the children’s ages. »» Both teacher-led and child-initiated activities are planned. »» In some classes, parents take turns working with the teacher in the classroom.
