Parent and Child Class

ECFE Parent/Child Class  (Newborns to age 5 years old) 

    Research shows that early childhood programs involving both parents and children are more effective than programs focusing exclusively on children.  Educators and psychologists contend that it is vital for early childhood programs to assist parents in their role as primary educators of their children.  Involving families prior to kindergarten enrollment encourages parents to play an active role in their children’s learning from birth into the elementary years and beyond.   And research confirms that children whose parents are involved in their education and learning are more successful in school.    We encourage all parents to participate in our Early Childhood Family Education classes along with their children.   Classes are being offered Thursday evenings and Friday mornings.  You are registering for the 2025-26 school year.  Please be aware that you are registering your child for the upcoming year and that there is a fee for these classes.    At this time you are not being charged any fees just registering and it will show a zero balance for registration purposes only.   There is a fee for classes and parents will have several options for making payments.   There is a minimum number of students needed for the classes to run and a limited number of spots in each class.  Once classes are filled, families have the option to add their child to the “waitlist”.  We will contact you should there be an opening.

    Tuition is PER FAMILY and not per child.  Please register EACH child who will be attending.  Participants must be 5 years of age (and not enrolled in kindergarten) and under.   Limited spots.


FULL RATE:  $125 annual per family / $62.50 in November & $62.5 in February (NOTE: you will need to register each child who will be attending.)

Census - Your Child & Family Counts!

Is your child on the school census?  If you have recently moved into our district or had an addition to the family (such as birth or adoption), please complete the census form.  This will ensure you receive information on Preschool Health Screening, Early Childhood Family Education and School Readiness programs, Kindergarten Roundup/Registration, etc.   The school census will be used only for school business and will be handled in a confidential manner.   By completing the census form you are also helping our district determine funding for preschool classes.  A separate form is needed for each child and please only include children ages infants through 6 who are not yet enrolled in elementary school.  If you have any questions, please email Kitti Kivi-Lex at kkivi-lex@frazee.k12.mn.us or (218) 334-3181, Ext. 5343.
