Resources for Families
At the Early Learning and Family Center (ELFC), we believe that every child is unique and brings something special to our school. We welcome all learners with open arms, creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow. Our program is thoughtfully designed to meet the diverse needs of young learners, providing children with the tools they need to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. Our students develop their emergent math and literacy skills through play based learning using The Creative Curriculum. Socially, our students learn healthy social emotional skills through our school wide positive behavior system called The Pyramid Model. Our goal at the ELFC is to support children's growth and learning so each child is ready to thrive in Edina Kindergarten.
Developmental Screening:
Early Childhood Screening is a quick and easy way to check in on your child’s health and development and connect them to amazing early childhood programming before they begin kindergarten.
Special Education:
Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) is an Edina Public Schools program that provides intervention to young children, from birth to kindergarten, who show developmental delay in the general areas of speech and language, large and fine motor skills, social and emotional behavior, cognitive and/or adaptive skills, or have vision or hearing losses.
