What are the benefits of ECFE?
ECFE works to strengthen families and encourages parents to provide the best possible environment for the healthy development of their children. Research shows that children whose parents are involved in their early education are more likely to be successful in elementary school.
Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)
ECFE is a NRHEG Area Schools program that provides parenting information and support to families whose children are birth to five years old (not yet enrolled in kindergarten). A vareity of classes, pre-school options, and activities are offered for all age groups. Most ECFE classes follow a similar format: parent/child activity time followed by parent education time to discuss common concerns and experiences while their children participate in an early childhood classroom. School readiness skills and activities are an important part of all programming.
