Early Childhood Family Education




What is Early Childhood Family Education?
ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) is a Winona Area Public Schools, Community Education program for all families with children from birth up to kindergarten.
ECFE offers weekly classes and special events for parents and their children.
ECFE is a fun place to learn and play in an informal setting and to meet other parents and children.

Winona Area Public Schools, Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) has been providing parent education and support to families in the Winona Community since 1979. The early years of a child's life are crucial. Intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth occurs rapidly from birth through age five. During these important years, parents are the first and most significant teachers. They direct the child's beginnings, shaping the child's perception of himself or herself and of the world.

It is the mission of ECFE to strengthen families, to help parents provide for their children's learning and development and to help young children develop to their full potential. We offer parenting education and support, a rich early childhood experience for children, family events, community resource information and a library of books, toys and learning materials for all families with children from birth through age five.

Where is Early Childhood Family Education located?
ECFE is at 5100 W 9th Street, Winona MN 55987


Term 4 classes begin April 1 and go through June 3, 2008.
