You are your child’s first and most important teacher! Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) classes help you be the best parent to your child. ECFE classes are designed for you and your child age birth to 5. ECFE is unique to Minnesota and is a program of Eden Prairie Schools Community Education. From school-year and seasonal classes to playtime and special events, ECFE programs do the following: - Support your child's healthy development through engaging activities - Help you discover effective parenting tips you can use immediately - Allow you to enjoy parent/child time including songs, activities, games, and lessons that will help your child thrive in every way - Give families a chance to step away from the rapid pace of today's world and ease the stresses families face. Do you have questions about tantrums, sibling relationships, bedtime routines, healthy eating, or developmental milestones? Schedule a confidential one-on-one consultation with an experienced parent educator who will connect with you by phone, email, or video conference. This consultation is free to all Eden Prairie families with children ages birth through 5 years old. Parents of a K-12 child may also request a consultation for a $35 per hour fee. Email KMatthews@edenpr.org to learn more and schedule your free appointment.

Screenings are held at the Eden Prairie Schools Administrative Services Center, 8100 School Road, Eden Prairie, MN, 55344. Please enter through The Welcome Center Door #1. Please bring your child's Birth Certificate & current Immunizations What age should my child be screened at? If your child is between the ages of 3 and 5, it is time to schedule his/her Early Childhood Screening to check all areas of development including hearing, vision, speech, and motor abilities. What if my child has already been screened? If a child has been screened and the parent or guardian can provide sufficient documentation that demonstrates that a comparable screening has been completed, even if the screening was completed in another state, that child does not need to be re-screened. A screening is considered comparable to Early Childhood Screening if it meets the Minnesota ECS program standards and was completed between the time a child turned three and entered kindergarten, or within 30 days of kindergarten entrance. Please have your previous district send the screening summary one of these ways: Email: EPS_LittleEagles@edenpr.org Mail: Eden Prairie Community Education Attn: Early Childhood Screening 8100 School Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Fax: 952-975-6920 What information is gathered at screening?
