Drop-In Playgroup is an opportunity for children to learn, grow and develop through play. There is something to keep every child happy and busy, with a baby and toddler area, activities for preschoolers, a great outdoor space plus lots of art, craft and messy play. And what’s even better - we clean up the mess afterwards!

ECFE Around Town is an exciting extension of our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program, designed for families, caregivers, andchildren from birth to age 5 across the district. Just like our traditional ECFE classes, this program offers:★ Fun, age-appropriate activities★ Opportunities to connect with other families★ Discussion time focused on parenting and child development★ Helpful resources and community informationThe home base for this class will be at Wesley Church, but often moves to various outdoor playgrounds. Watch our “Winona ECFE” Facebook page for updates on location. We will also be doing fun “POP UP” events throughout the year, keep an eye on our Facebook page for advertising.

Join us for a fun and creative ECFE class where stories come to life! Each week, we will read a favorite children’s book together and then dive into a hands-on art project inspired by the story. This class encourages early literacy, creativity, and parent-child bonding in a playful and supportive environment. Perfect for young children who love to imagine, explore and create!

This weekly gathering time is for babies (up to 12 months old) and their caregivers. Bring your questions and insights, and enjoy conversation with other parents of little ones in our engaging baby play space! A licensed parent educator will be present to visit with families and will facilitate a circle time during the last half hour of class. Arrive anytime during this drop-in experience; we’d love to see you!There is no cost for this drop-in class.Questions? Reach out to lynnea.pfohl@winona.k12.mn.us
