September is School Board Recognition Month.
In September 2024, we’re celebrating Minnesota School Board Recognition Month. This year’s theme is “Public School Boards Have Heart,” and it highlights the deep commitment school board members have to ensuring the success of public school students across Minnesota. Please join us in recognizing and thanking our Cambridge-Isanti School Board members for their service and dedication to our schools and students!
ECFE 50th Anniversary
In 2024, we're excited to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ECFE in Minnesota! We believe that lifelong learning begins at birth, and many skills necessary for both school and life are learned well before the age of six. ECFE operates on the principle that the family serves as a child's most significant learning environment, and that parents/caregivers are the most important teachers.
All ECFE programs incorporate parent education, early childhood education, and parent-child interaction. Since ECFE programs are tailored to meet the needs of children, parents, and families, programming and services are distinctive to each community. Our classrooms are equipped with engaging toys, activities, and opportunities for exploration. Play with your child, follow their lead, and watch them learn with excitement!
You are invited to join us for a class or event, and experience firsthand what ECFE is all about!
