ECFE offers a variety of classes, all designed to help strengthen families through interactive play and relevant, research-based parent education. We invite you to join our ECFE family as we share and learn together. A typical ECFE class includes: Parent-Child Interaction - Time where parent and child together enjoy a classroom filled with developmentally appropriate learning activities. Parent Education - Provides relevant, effective education and support that encourages a healthy environment for the growth and development of families. Children’s Activity Time - During parent education time, children explore, gain independence and practice social skills while under the supervision of a licensed children’s teacher. Additional Information: Our class fees are based on your family annual income and determined by a sliding fee scale. District 196 residents are encouraged to register regardless of their ability to pay. Babies nine weeks or younger are not counted as a second child when determining class fee. Out-of-district families can register beginning a week prior to the start of classes. Summer session is July 8-31. Registration closes July 15. Fall session is September 3 through December 18. Registration begins July 16. Register by 11:00 p.m. on August 5 to be included in the lottery. What is the "lottery"? Each quarter (summer, fall, winter, spring), our class registration opens to District 196 families. Families are asked to designate a first and a second choice class. After 2-3 weeks of open registration, we run a computer-generated lottery which places everyone in one of their class choices. (We have a high demand for classes, so this is a way of trying to get as many families as possible into at least one class.) After we run the lottery, registration opens again and more families register or families can sign up for a second class. One week before classes begin, registration opens for out-of-district families.
