ECFE Home Education Program

The ECFE Home Education Program is a voluntary parent education program offered to families who are expecting a child or have children under the age of kindergarten entry. The ECFE Home Education Program helps to establish positive partnerships between home, school and the community. It plays a vital role in supporting families and children from early learning and understanding important developmental milestones. Periodic screening increases parents' understanding of their children's developmental progress and informs them of any possible delays. Early intervention for identified concerns helps improve school readiness for young children. This evidence-based early childhood program is designed to offer regularly scheduled family personal visits, annual developmental screening, monthly group connections and access to a network and resources. These components are integral in supporting and preparing children, families, schools and communities toward school readiness. The ECFE Home Education Program provides opportunities to assist families with a smooth transition into preschool and kindergarten. We offer three main topics to start with; health and safety, parents as teachers and parent/child bonding. Once your registration has been received, an early childhood teacher will contact you to schedule a session that fits your schedule. If you have any questions about the ECFE Home Education Program, please call (651) 982-8318.
