Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is where moms, dads and their children between birth and kindergarten go to discover new things about each other by spending valuable time together and apart. The mission of Early Childhood Family Education is to strengthen families through the education and support of all parents in providing the best possible environment for the healthy growth and development of their children.
ECFE was created to support and strengthen families—the first and most important influences on the development of young children—through information, education, and networking.
Classes are held mornings, afternoons, and evenings at the Washington Learning Center located at 910 14th North.
ECFE also offers one time special events for families such as concerts, gym nights, Trunk-or-Treat, Vehicle Fair, Community Baby Shower, and speakers.
