Early learners
Raising children is both a joy and a challenge. Babies do not come with instruction manuals and there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to raising them.
Questions often arise about the best ways to nurture and care for children as they grow from infants and toddlers to preparing them to board the school bus on the first day of kindergarten and beyond.
Anoka-Hennepin Community Education offers a wide range of classes, programs, and services to meet your changing needs and interests, in addition to learning and enrichment opportunities for early learners from birth to third grade.
Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)
ECFE offers classes, playtime, and other opportunities designed to give families information and ideas to support their child's growth and development from birth to third grade.
Preschool
Preschool serves as an introduction to the school experience. Classrooms offer a supportive environment to build a foundation for successful learners, include children of all abilities, and are led by a licensed teacher.
Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening is a FREE and simple check of how your child is growing, developing, and learning. State law requires screening for children three years of age and older planning to attend school in the Anoka-Hennepin School District.
Pre-K to Grade 3 Parenting Education
