Learning Is Fun, a Pequot Lakes Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) plus preschool program, is now being offered two times a week.
This class works with the special learning needs of children ages 3 and 4. Children must be age 3 by Sept. 1, 2015, and toilet trained to attend.
The two-day a week class session incorporates parent education time into the regular class time. Section 1 will meet from 8:30-11 a.m. Mondays and Thursdays. Section 2 will meet from 12:30-3 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.
Parents will meet in the Parent Room from 8:45-9:30 a.m. or 12:45-1:30 p.m. for parent education. There is no parent education class on Mondays; just drop off your preschooler to go to class on their own. This new option was developed based on parent requests for a program that includes the parent education within the class.
Fall session classes will run the week of Sept. 14 through Dec. 10. The winter session will run Jan. 4-May 5, 2016. Jessie Mudgett, a Pequot Lakes School District licensed early childhood teacher, teaches the class.
