Red Wing's Early Childhood Family Education programming is taking registrations for the the fall/winter 2025 session. Simply click the catalog cover to see the many offerings, then use the registration button to enroll.
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, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. ECFE works to support you as a parent/caregiver and to strengthen and empower families.
Who can participate in ECFE?
ECFE is a parenting education program for all Minnesota families with children between the ages of birth to kindergarten entrance. The goal is to enhance the ability of all parents and other family members to provide the best possible environments for their child's learning and development.
