Early Childhood Family Education

ECFE Welcomes ALL Families!
The Mission of ECFE is to educate, empower, and support all families by supporting parents as their child's first teacher, by offering information about child development and parenting techniques, and by giving children opportunities to discover and learn.


Fun Things for You to do With Your Children.

Build A Little Snowman
Sung to: "I'm a Little Teapot"
Build a little snowman, starting with his feet.
Put on lots of snow, and pat it all so neat.
Then make a round ball, and put it up on top.
Then the sun will come out, and make the snowman hot.
