Early Childhood and Family Education - Ages and Stages

ECFE Ages and Stages Classes are designed to foster strong parent-child relationships through interactive activities and educator-led discussions at each developmental stage of your child's life. Join our engaging weekly classes, where mutual support, shared growth, and collaboration embody the spirit of "it takes a village to raise a child."

Class Structure:

• Parent-Child Interaction (First Half): Follow your child's lead during this interactive time. Relax and enjoy learning more about your child's interests through play and exploration.
• Circle Time: Led by a licensed Early Childhood Educator, this session includes songs, stories, and movement activities.
• Parent Discussion (Second Half): A licensed Parent Educator facilitates discussions where parents can share the joys and challenges of parenting, problem-solve, and exchange insights and resources. Topics may include child development, emotional regulation, temperament, sleep, toilet learning, and more.

Gradual Separation Benefits: Strong adult-child relationships provide young children with a sense of comfort, safety, confidence, and encouragement as they grow more independent. The gradual separation progression in our ECFE classes is an intentional, developmentally appropriate practice that supports the attachment relationship.

Class Separating Types:

• Non-Separating Classes: Parents remain in the parent-child room for the entire session.
• Gradually Separating Classes: Parents transition from being in the parent-child room to a separate discussion room over time.
• Separating Classes: Parents move to a different room for discussion after the parent-child activity time, while children enjoy a light snack and further classroom exploration with guidance from a licensed Early Childhood teacher and support staff.
