About ECFE Classes

The years from birth to age five are critical to a child's development. The Early Childhood programs are geared to helping families during these formative years. By offering support to the family, parents learn parenting skills that enable them to raise healthy children, and these children will be ready to succeed in school when they enter the doors of our elementary schools.

Our goal is to provide children (from birth to Kindergarten age) and their parents, the opportunity to learn and grow together. The program provides support and information for parents and healthy developmental growth for the child.LOCATED IN THE NEW HIBBING EARLY LEARNING CENTER, DOOR #16. Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) is a statewide program through the Hibbing School District's Community Education, for any parents and preschool children from birth to kindergarten age. It has a “parent group time” when parenting issues, child development information, speakers, and parenting support are provided by a licensed parent educator. The children have their own group time with a licensed early childhood teacher who provides planned activities and experiences that help enhance the learning and development of young children.

ECFE classes are held during the daytime and evening, Monday through Wednesday, September thru May. Each child comes one time per week (depending on age, class approximately 1 hr long).  Scholarships are available for those that qualify. Please call 218-208-0853 for more information. All classes are held at the Hibbing Early Learning Center (2100 12th Ave E, Hibbing MN. 55746).

Cost

Hibbing Public Schools has established a sliding fee scale for ECFE and Preschool students. The sliding fee scale establishes a recommended amount of payment for service based on family income and family size. No child will be excluded because of a family's inability to pay. The fee is waived for children who qualify for Educational Benefits (i.e. Free or Reduced Lunch/FRLP) or who receive special education services (on an IEP).  CLICK HERE FOR SLIDING FEE SCALE, for those that qualify.
