ST. MICHAEL-ALBERTVILLE EARLY CHILDHOOD
           It is our mission to provide each family with a positive introduction to STMA schools.
 STMA Early Childhood inspires to create engaging environments for young children and families. Each room is designed
           for all developmental learning levels and styles. Your children will play, explore and grow with us.

                                           What is ECFE?
                                           Early Childhood Family Education is a program to connect families within the
                                           STMA community. ECFE offers classes, separating and non-separating, for
                                           children ages birth through five and their families. Our licensed staff provides a
                                           safe, supportive, child-centered environment that enhances children’s growth
                                           and development while supporting parents and families. ECFE helps build
                                           relationships within your family and your community.

                                              Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is based on the idea that parents
                                               provide their child’s first and most significant learning environment and
                                                        parents are children’s first and most enduring teachers.

   We welcome all families with
  children ages birth through five
years to ECFE. Not only do moms
 attend, but dads, grandmas and
    grandpas, aunts and uncles,
  neighbors, friends, and nannies.
All are welcome. Occasionally we
hold special events in which older
      siblings are also invited.
 You do not need to be a resident
   of the STMA school district to
         register for classes.

 The components of most ECFE parent-child classes include:
 Parent-Child Interaction Time:Time together enjoying all the classroom has to offer. This is time to focus on your child
 and model behavior for interacting with others in the classroom. The licensed classroom teacher has planned
 developmentally appropriate activities for you and your child.
 Circle Time: A small portion of the parent-child interaction time will be set aside for a short group experience or “circle
 time.” During this time you and your child will sing simple songs, learn finger plays, hear stories, learn circle games and
 be involved in movement activities.
 Guided Play: Planned and intentional learning activities. Teachers and parents support play choices and assist in
 building friendships. In addition to our creative classrooms, each ECFE class utilizes our gym and gross motor activities.
 There are two types of classes.
 Separating
 Parents and children begin class together, but spend time apart.               Find us on Social Media!
