Rockford Area Schools Community Ed

Ages 30-54 months: This class is the perfect combination of ECFE and a preschool experience. One morning a week (Wednesdays) you’ll spend time with your child in the Early Childhood classroom before parent/caregivers leave the classroom for discussion with the Parent Educator. During the parenting time you’ll talk about school readiness, parenting, friends, discipline, etc. while your child plays and learns in a classroom of peers and is led by an Early Childhood Teacher. The second day of class (Fridays) is just for the kids! You’ll drop your child off in the Early Childhood room and pick them up at 10:15 am for a brief together time and good-byes. What a great way to practice separating from adults and navigating a room of new friends. Sibling care is available on Wednesdays.

Mixed ages: Birth-5 years These mixed-ages classes are for everyone! During these classes, you’ll spend time with your child in the early childhood classroom before separating for the parent/caregiver discussion. While you're gone, your child will enjoy time playing and learning with an Early Childhood teacher and other kid-friends. This is a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to connect and support each other, and for children to learn and grow with other children apart from their adults.
