Parent Advisory Council & Child Playgroup

Birth to 5 Years

This special ECFE offering combines meaningful parent involvement with fun, play-based learning for children. While children enjoy a guided playgroup with licensed early childhood staff, parents and caregivers meet as part of the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) to help shape the future of ECFE programming. If you’re interested in joining, please let us know—we’d love to have you! Please email ceinfo@isd191.org.  Include Parent Advisory in the subject line. (There is no cost to become part of the PAC.)

During this class:

• Children participate in age-appropriate activities that support social, emotional, and cognitive development through play, music, and exploration.
  
• Parents/Caregivers engage in discussion and planning sessions focused on ECFE events, program feedback, community outreach, and parent leadership.
  

Who Should Attend:
Parents or caregivers with children ages birth to 5 years who are interested in making a difference while their children enjoy supervised play.

We are excited to invite parents and caregivers to be part of our ECFE Parent Advisory Group. This group plays an important role in supporting our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) programs by sharing ideas, giving feedback, and helping us plan meaningful experiences for families.
