Battle Creek Elementary and Saint Paul Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) offer parent and early childhood education for families with children between birth and kindergarten age.

ECFE is based on the idea that the family provides a child's first and most important learning environment, and parents are a child's first and most significant teachers. ECFE works to strengthen families and enhance the ability of all parents to provide the best possible environment for the healthy growth and development of their children.

ECFE offers open enrollment, which means every ECFE class is open to all Saint Paul residents. You may find a class that suits your family's needs at a site outside your neighborhood. If you would like to view a complete list of classes offered through ECFE and where they are offered click here.

In addition to its neighborhood sites, ECFE offers classes in infant parenting, family literacy and adolescent parenting to the residents of Saint Paul. For more information on these classes click here.
