Are you a native Somali speaker? We warmly invite you and your children to join our English-led ECFE classes. This class offers a space for you and your child to play and interact with others while providing you with the opportunity to connect with other Somali-speaking adults. An interpreter is present each week to support communication.

Class Components:

• Caregiver/Child Interaction: Spend quality time together engaging in activities that promote bonding and early learning.
• Play-Based Learning: Fun, hands-on activities that foster your child's development through play.

• Caregiver Discussion: Led by a Licensed Parenting Educator, with an interpreter available each week to support communication.

Class Structure:

This class is designed for children ages 2-5, providing them with a structured classroom experience. Younger siblings (6 months – 2 years) will move to sibling care during class separation time. 

Waitlists help us grow! If a class is full, be sure to join the waitlist. It helps us plan and may lead to the addition of new classes.
