Rushford-Peterson Community Education offers many opportunities for early childhood aged children and their families. Our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) classes are open to birth to five-year-olds. Parents and children attend the themed classes together. Clases meet on Monday evening from 6-7:15 p.m. and Friday mornings from 9:30-10:45 a.m. Along with offering classes, ECFE also sponsors events the whole family can attend together, as well as events that highlight and celebrate special family relationships! This school year, families have already enjoyed Little Elves’ Workshop (held in Peterson) and our ECFE Open Gyms. The upcoming special event for this spring include the annual Daddy/Daughter Dance to be held on Sunday, April 22 from 12-2 p.m.
R-P Community Education proudly offers the 4 Star Parent Aware Lille By Preschool program to our community. Three-, four-, and five-year-old children attend classes independently from their parents. Lille By (pronounced “Lilla Bee”) is a Norwegian name that means “Little Town.” Our preschool is an inclusive program. Lille By Preschool is currently accepting preschool registrations for the 2018-19 school year! Please contact the Community Education office for more information. ECFE Special Event information and Lille By Preschool information is included in the ECFE/School Readiness newsletters mailed approximately once a month during the school year to our mailing list. Events are also advertised on our website at www.r-pschools.com under the “Community Ed” tab on the top of the homepage.
