The Circle of Security Parenting Program is a quarterly (Q4) class that uses decades of research to help parents develop and strengthen secure parent-child relationships. This intensive class teaches parents and caregivers to better understand the emotional needs of their children, how to support their child's ability to manage and improve self-esteem, and how to honor parents' innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure. Together, we will focus on learning how to both read your toddler's emotional needs and help them successfully manage these emotions. Babies 0-4 months may remain with their caregiver during class; all other children must attend childcare.

Early Learning hosts many pop-up events at minimal cost or free throughout the year to bring families from our communities together. This is an opportunity to spend quality time with your child(ren) participating in activities that are age-appropriate and joyous for children. We encourage all our families with young children to get out and explore the world through their eyes! Pop-up events are also a great way for families to participate in early learning if an ECFE class is not feasible for your family. It is also a great time to check in with our early childhood experts and ask questions about our programs, parenting questions, and learn more about your child's development. All our events are planned by our early learning staff because we enjoy helping families grow, and we know how essential it is to strengthen the family bond. Each event is one night only.

If your child resides in the Proctor School District, click here to schedule his/her Early Childhood Screening appointment. Early Childhood Screening is a free program in Minnesota that checks how a child is developing and growing. Early Childhood Screening is a brief, simple process used to identify potential health or developmental problems in young children. It includes a review of height, weight, vision, hearing, speech, social and emotional progress and overall development. Screening in early childhood supports children's readiness for kindergarten and promotes positive child health and developmental outcomes through referrals to early learning opportunities. Note: Screenings are typically most successful at 3 years and 6 months of age; however, if you have any developmental concerns, please feel free to register. Be sure to sign in or create your account before selecting your screening appointment. You must also "check out" in order to finalize your "purchase", even though there is NO COST to screening.
