Mankato Community Education

Bring your baby to play in our ECFE classroom! You will find age appropriate activities to enjoy with your baby, simple ways to encourage your baby's development at home and meet other parents with whom you can share ideas, concerns and successes. Outdoor experiences will be provided weather permitting. We are excited to be able to offer take home learning activities for families enrolled in distance learning sections.

"Paint, chalk, shaving cream, glue, glitter, spray bottles, squeegees, our hands and feet" what do all these items have in common? They are some of the tools we will need to "mess around" in the Messy Art class. Come prepared to get messy while you explore, create and have fun. The messy time will include children and their parent. There will be time for parents to discuss everyday parenting topics for ages 2-5 as well as the value of art and creativity.

Come and enjoy music, movement and books with your toddler! This class provides a time for parents to participant in music, movement and book activities with their child. During this class, we will use songs, books, and larger motor skills to help foster literacy development, active learning and physical health.
