Separating Classes – Parents/Caregivers spend part of the class interacting with their children and then go to a separate classroom for the parent discussion. Children should be age 1 as of September 1st, 2026 to best fit in this class. ECFE is a statewide program in Minnesota that gives children and families the tools they need to thrive. Designed for any parent or caregiver with a child from birth to Kindergarten, our classes help with the things that matter most: 1. Individual attention time with parents or caregivers and their children to strengthen bonds. 2. Playful learning time to help children with their next phase while minimizing separation anxiety. 3. Parenting discussion time for parents and caregivers to talk about their parenting dreams, desires and concerns.
