ECFE stands for Early Childhood Family Education. Our program, offered by the Minnesota public school districts, serves families with children from birth to five years of age. Our mission is to enhance the ability of all parents and other family members to provide the best possible environment for their child’s learning and growth. At ECFE, you can expect to meet caring instructors whose sole job is to support you in your role as a parent and as your child’s first teacher. You will also meet other parents of toddlers and preschoolers who share some of the very same joys and frustrations of parenting as you do.
