What is the Early Childhood Family Education? 

Our ECFE program is the perfect starting point for your family's adventure with Edina Public Schools. Our passionate, licensed parent educators and early childhood teachers create a welcoming environment where every child and family can explore, connect, and thrive.

In ECFE classes, you'll gain perspective on the world through your child's eyes, find a supportive network of parents sharing similar experiences, and discover a sense of purpose as you connect with others committed to building community. We use a learning model that incorporates parent-child activity time, parent discussion groups, and children's learning sessions.

At ECFE, we recognize you as your child's primary and most influential teacher. Our goal is to help you savor these precious moments together while equipping you with the tools to parent confidently. Join us in giving your child the best possible start in life!

We're here to help you get your child off to a great start! You are your child's first and most important teacher. We help you enjoy this time together, and give you the tools you need to parent with confidence.

Parent Education:

Parent Education's goal is to enhance the ability of all parents and caregivers to provide the best possible environment for their child's learning and growth. It is a place where all families have people who will walk beside them on their parenting journey.
