ECFE classes fill quickly. Register by mail, phone (218-284-3400) or online isd152.org/ CE. Cancellation of a class could occur if the number of participants required to hold the class do not register.
Child must be required age for classes by the first day of the class. State funding requires that only children ages birth through kindergarten entry may participate in our ECFE programs, unless otherwise indicated.
Tuition rates are indicated with each class description and are payable upon registration. All families are welcome. Moorhead School District residents receive a reduced fee, which you will find in parentheses, behind the fee in each class description. Fee is per family except where noted.
If your budget is too tight to allow for an ECFE class, call us at 218-284-3400 for sliding fee or scholarship information.
Check online at moorheadschools.org or listen to the radio or TV to receive the latest update on any storm-related cancellations.
Unless otherwise specified, if you have to cancel, we can give you a full refund only if you notify the Community Education Office at least 48 hours prior to the first class meeting. Refunds after a class has begun will be given only in extreme circumstances. In the unlikely event your class is canceled, we will give a full refund.
Class Structure: Parents and children spend the first half together working on activities the teacher and room provides. Then we transition into circle time, which may consist of music, finger plays, movement activities, books, flannel board stories, puppets and other child-centered activities. The second half parents discuss topics of interest with each other and a licensed parent educator. Children enjoy play time, remaining with a licensed early childhood educator. You know your child best. If your child is not ready to separate, you can stay with your child the entire class.
