Parenting Preschoolers (separating)


Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) / Additional ECFE Options -
2025 Winter & Spring

Ages: 3-5 years

Parent and child will separate for part of this class.

In the first hour children will play and learn in one of our large motor spaces and early childhood classroom with peers ages 3-5 years old. During separation parents will have opportunities to discuss a variety of topics geared towards parenting preschoolers. After separation parents and children will reunite together in the early childhood classroom for art, sensory activities and circle time. All ECFE classes are taught by a licensed early childhood teacher and/or a licensed parent educator.

This class will separate first for the parent discussion.
