About Babies and Ones Classes - Non-Separating

ECFE is your source for the information and support you need during all those incredible firsts. These classes are a collection of courses focused on the essential topics you need to know.

Babies and Ones classes do not separate - parenting education discussions take place in the classroom. Children are encouraged to continue playing under the supervision of an early childhood teacher but are reassured by the presence of their parent/caregiver.

Featured Courses

  • Ones: 11 to 23 months

    Your little ones will love exploring in a child-friendly environment discovering sensory activities along with songs and movements. Learning activities are planned for children on the move. Parenting discussions include responding to new behaviors and interests, language and brain development, and motor abilities along with other topics to help support you and your child. Come learn, laugh, and connect with other parents who are sharing the same experience. What is ECFE? Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) offers programs for all families with children from birth to grade 3. Programs encourage play and exploration which help children learn and develop. Licensed Parenting Educators provide parents and caregivers with support, information on child development, and community resources. Plus, you develop connections with other parents/caregivers who are sharing in the same experiences.
