Join us on Saturday, May 3 from 10-noon at Rice Lake Elementary for the annual ECFE Truck Day! The ECFE Parent Advisory Council organizes this annual fundraiser to support Early Childhood programs. Children can come see big trucks and other vehicles up close, while parents can bid on a wide variety of silent auction items or buy a themed basket.

 

Have a truck you'd like to bring? Want to donate to the silent auction? Contact earlychildhood@isd12.org.

Registration for 2025-2026 ECFE classes opens on May 15. Join us for a year-long class or sign up for one, two, or a few short-term classes. Drop-in classes are always an option, too! Class descriptions, fees, and more information can be found on our website. Registrations received by May 30 will be included in the placement lottery on June 1. After the lottery, registration for remaining seats will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Welcome back to our returning and new families! The staff of Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) and Centennial Preschool are eager to meet their new students and get the school year started.

Registration for ECFE classes will remain open until classes are full, even after classes begin the week of September 9. We have some new offerings this year, including a second session of the free Explore With Baby class and the expansion of our Little Nature Explorers classes throughout the year. If you're not able to commit to a weekly class, please consider Drop-In & Play on Fridays from 9-10:30am. For $3/child or $5/family you can enjoy 90 minutes of structured play.

Centennial Preschool classes are mostly full, but we currently have availability at Golden Lake and Rice Lake for full-day classes and at the Early Childhood Center for our 4-day afternoon class.

Registration is via Eleyo, but you're always welcome to contact us at 763-792-6120 or earlychildhood@isd12.org with questions.
