Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)

Growing Together in Waconia

Our ECFE programs are designed to support your family during the most significant stage of human development—the first five years. We focus on honoring where children are today through active learning and shared connection.

• Birth–Toddlers: Build grounded connections through responsive play and sensory exploration. These classes provide a gentle space for caregivers to build skills and community, with parent education tailored to be either integrated or separating based on what is developmentally appropriate for our youngest learners.
• 2-5 year olds: Dive into meaningful, child-centered experiences that prioritize social-emotional growth and confidence. By focusing on collaborative play and exploration, we support the natural curiosity that drives this vibrant stage of learning.
• Parent Education: Every class includes a dedicated time for families to explore parenting topics, share insights, and create a lasting supportive network. Depending on the age and stage of the children, parent education may take place within the classroom together with children, or in a separate adult focused classroom space.  We believe that when parents are supported, the whole family thrives.
