ECFE EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION Come for your CHILD... STAY FOR YOURSELF! It’s for you and your young children - birth to before kindergarten. ECFE offers high quality learning activities for you and your children, helps children grow and develop, enriches family life, and provides information and support for your important role as a parent! What happens when we come to ECFE parent/child activities? Staff will greet you and the room will be set up with activities. All ECFE instructing staff have, at minimum, a four year degree plus teaching licensure in Parent Education, Early Childhood Education or Early Childhood Family Education. Usually there are three parts to the sessions: Time together for parents and children, parent discussion time, and children’s activity and exploration time. What are the rooms like? The ECFE rooms are set up for young children with childsized furniture, toys and materials that are appealing to kids! We have one room set up just for infants - 2 years, others for a variety of ages up to 5 years. What are the activities? Activities will be set up in the room. You and your child can choose what you want to try. Some activities like painting become weekly favorites. We encourage you to “take your child’s lead” and enjoy the special time together. At times we will do group activities with all parents and children. Usually there’s a time when the ECFE staff have all the parents and children together in order to get acquainted. There will be a variety of activities depending on the age of the children. For older children there will be stories, songs, fingerplays. In some classes parents will “step back” and watch the children’s learning in action. What happens during parent discussion time? While your child participates in the children’s time in the ECFE classroom with the Early Childhood Educator, you’ll meet with parents and the ECFE Parent Educator. Parent discussion will be in the children’s room for parents with young children; it will be in another room for parents with older children. It’s a comfortable situation where you’ll be able to talk about the joys and concerns of being a parent. You’ll be able to take time to look at and consider many ideas. Often parents say this is one of their most important times during the week. Research tells us that getting information and support for our role as parents is one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and our children! What happens during the children’s time and how will parents be involved? The children participate in activities in the classroom while moms, dads or caregivers participate in the discussion. The Early Childhood Educator prepares the room and activities gauged for the children’s ages. Both teacher lead and child initiated activities are planned. In some classes parents take turns working with the teacher in the classroom. This provides an opportunity for parents to observe children’s time and how their child responds. It also provides an opportunity to learn more about children’s development and behavior. It’s a chance to get involved and have fun! 22 20 | WWW.728COMMUNITYED.COM ECFE
