A Program In Which Parents, Teachers, and Children Are Partners In Learning
Together!!
The components of most ECFE classes are
-
GROWING TOGETHER: Time for you and
your child
The first half hour of each class is devoted to activities planned
by a licensed early childhood educator for you and your child(ren) to explore
together. Together you can enjoy learning through art, music, stories,
and a variety of developmental activities. It is also an opportunity to
learn new ideas, games, and activities that you can do at home.
GROWING INDEPENDENTLY: Time for your child
The remaining portion of each class is for children to have fun
learning through play using art, science, movement, fingerplays,
games, and stories with the early childhood educator, the paraprofessional
and the other children. New friendships are formed and children
discover new aspects of me while they are apart from you. The goal
of the children's program is to develop a healthy self-concept and
a joy of learning. GROWING CONFIDENTLY: Time for you
While children take part in the children's program, parents join
with other parents in an informal group setting for discussion
time led by a licensed parent educator. The challenges of
being a parent are enjoyable, complex, and at times stressful. Parents
have the opportunity to choose and discuss current family topics,
share ideas and concerns, and feel encouraged by the support of others.
Parents and children in baby and selected other classes do not separate.
Each toddler class will decide when they are ready for separation.
