Welcome to Edgewood Rebecca Richardson, Early Childhood Manager
Hello and welcome to Prior Lake-Savage Area School’s Community Education Early Childhood Programming! It is often said that parenting is the toughest job one can hold, yet it can also be the most fulfilling. We at Edgewood School strongly believe that the most effective, impactful learning and development occurs during 0-5 years of age. We are here to support you throughout these wondrous early years of your child’s life with a variety of programming tailored to meet your family’s unique needs. New baby? Look to ECFE for parent and child classes to gain a network of learning, support, and socialization. On-the-go toddler? Join a separating ECFE class where your little one can burn off some energy while you discuss helpful parenting strategies targeted to your child’s development. Three year olds should sign up for onsite Early Childhood screening to support kindergarten readiness. Approaching school age? Your 3-5 year old will benefit from the inquiry-based learning of our E-STEM Circle of Friends Preschool program in half and extended day classes. Developmental questions or concerns? Our Early Childhood Special Education programming can tailor services specific to the needs of your child in order to best prepare them for kindergarten. In all programs at Edgewood school, you will discover a safe, nurturing environment in which to learn and grow. Our goal is to make these first school experiences supportive and positive for all community members. Welcome to Edgewood School, we are glad you are here and look forward to learning and growing together!

ECFE Fees
Class Sliding Fees ECFE uses a sliding-fee scale based upon your household’s annual gross income. Scholarships are available for families who live in the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District.
Annual Income
Class Fee Scale (11-weeks)
$0-20,000 $20,000-40,000 $40,000-60,000 $60,000-80,000 $80,000-100,000 $100,000+ SIBLING CARE

Sibling Care
Childcare is available during most classes for siblings from seven weeks to age five. A child under seven weeks old may stay with their parent in class. Register for sibling care at the same time you register for a class. This cost is a family fee, not an individual fee per child. This breaks down to a small fee of $6 per class period. 4
