Youth Programs
30 hour classroom class for Drivers Ed. Ages 14-18
These parent-child classes are especially for our 3 to 5 year old friends!
Parents and children spend the entire time together, engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities.
In these classes, parents and children separate from each other half-way through the class.
This is all about support, resources, knowledge, and guidance for parents.
ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) is offered through Minnesota public school districts. Together, parents and children, newborn to kindergarten age, participate in activities and experiences that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and language skills. All ECFE classes are taught by licensed teachers and parent educators to provide the quality education for which parents are looking.
A typical ECFE Class includes:
Together Time: Parent and child together enjoy a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate learning activities.
Parents’ Time:Parents separate from their children and join together for a discussion group facilitated by a Parent Educator.
Children’s Time: While parents are in discussion, children participate in activities facilitated by an Early Childhood Teacher.
ECFE also offers non-separating classes in which parents remain with the children the entire class time.
