Welcome to a nurturing and enriching experience designed for parents and their 1-2 year olds. Each session includes child-led play, simple activities, and circle time with songs that support language development, motor skills, and emotional growth. Led by a licensed early childhood educator and parent educator, both children and caregivers can learn, play, and grow together during this critical stage of early development. Parenting time will share topics such as child development, discipline and other areas of interest. Enjoy the journey of parenthood surrounded by a welcoming community of families.

Hi! My name is Hannah Lee and I have been teaching for 7 years now. I live here in Albert Lea with my husband, dog, and my daughter. My favorite thing about ECFE is meeting new families and watching the kids grow. I cant wait to meet you all!
Mary Jo Volkman
Instructor
Working as an ECFE Parent Educator for 32 years I have come full circle with families that brought their babies to class and now working with those babies who are adults raising their own children and coming to classes. I feel very privileged to have had the most satisfying experience teaching parenting skills to so many families. I am a native Albert Lean, married with two grown children who are both married and am fortunate to have two beautiful granddaughters. Teaching baby, toddler, and special parenting classes, I have formed very good relationships with parents through ECFE. I look forward to creating even more meaningful memories in the upcoming year ahead.
