EARLY LEARNING FAMILY CONNECTION
CIRCLE OF SECURITY PARENTING CAREGIVERS W/ CHILDREN 0-8 This supportive and engaging class is designed to strengthen the bond between you and your child. The Circle of Security program helps parents and caregivers understand their children’s emotional needs, build secure attachment, and respond with confidence and care. Through videos, discussions, and real-life examples, you’ll learn new ways to connect, guide behavior, and create a foundation for lifelong trust and resilience. Babies 0-4 months may remain with their caregiver during class; all other children must attend the provided childcare.
STAY CONNECTED FROM THE START - EARLY CHILDHOOD CENSUS AGES 0-5 If you have a child aged birth through 5 who is not yet in kindergarten, the single best step you can take to prepare for their educational journey is adding them to our Early Childhood Census. Why is this so important for your family? Being on the census isn't just about counting heads; it’s about establishing a connection with your school district early on. It ensures you don't miss critical windows of opportunity, including: Early Childhood Screening: Receiving timely reminders for health and developmental screenings is crucial, and they help identify areas where your child may need extra support before they start kindergarten. Early Learning Program Access: Being the first to know about preschool registration, ECFE classes, and other early learning opportunities that often fill up quickly. Community Connection: Receive invitations to special events geared toward young families.
