Adventure Center full day preschool program is designed to help children prepare to enter kindergarten with the skills and behaviors necessary to be successful. The program is a blended program with students ages 3-5. Children who are three years old by September of the current school year and are toilet trained are eligible to enroll. Children work on listening, personal and social development, language and literacy, thinking and math skills through guided play, group time, and social interaction. Activities include language arts, math, science, art, large muscle (gym/outside), dramatic play, blocks, and music. The program works collaboratively with C-I Preschool teachers and staff to support students and families who may be enrolled in both programs. Students will be seamlessly moved between classes, with similar support strategies used in all preschool programs and classes. Families enrolled in both programs receive a discount from AC Preschool rates. The program is designed to meet the needs of families, with various flexible contracts and options. Consistent contracts, pick your day (new for school year 2022-2023), and drop-in days are available. Child Care Assistance Program and Child Care Aware of America funding is accepted.

We know that getting to preschool may not work for every family, so we want to share this opportunity to participate in preschool virtually. A licensed preschool teacher will prepare weekly activities and videos for your child to view at a time that is convenient for your family- evenings, weekends or daytime! We will also do a live circle time, where your child can interact with their teacher and classmates online. The State of Minnesota requires all children to participate in an Early Childhood Screening before they enter Kindergarten. Click here to schedule an appointment now!

WINTER/SPRING 2022 ECFE REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!! Thank you for your interest in Cambridge-Isanti ECFE! If you have any questions about or need assistance registering please feel free to contact us! Also, if the class you want to register for is full, please register to be on the wait list. This helps us with future programming! ECFE is a public school program for all Minnesota families with children between the ages of birth and kindergarten entrance. ECFE is based on the idea that the family provides a child's first and most significant learning environment and parents/guardians are a child's first and most important teachers. Our goal in ECFE is to strengthen families and to enhance the ability of all parents/guardians to provide the best possible environment for their child's learning and growth. Cambridge-Isanti ECFE is a fun, informal place to learn with other parents/guardians and meet new friends. Children spend special time with their parents, engage in activities, and play with peers.

The early childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth. Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how children are doing between the ages of 3 to 4 years. It identifies, at an early stage, possible learning or health concerns so that children can get needed help before starting school. HERE is a video about Early Childhood Screening from MDE.

Look here for art classes, science classes, martial arts, health & safety, camps, adventuring events and other enrichment activities.

Whether your child enjoys sports, art, science, music, horses and more, Cambridge-Isanti Community Education has what you are looking for!
