The family is the child's first and life long teacher. All families need information and support to help make the most of their child's early leaning years. The Rockford Early Childhood Program is dedicated to helping families have positive early leaning experiences with their children. This is the first step to a successful school experience.

All families expecting a baby or with a child under the age of five are welcome to attend family programs. Family support staff work with parents of infants, toddlers, and preschool children through the activites and serivces outlined below. Also, family support staff work with classroom teachers and families to make the most of each child's learning experiences.
