"Coon Rapids Family Place is a hidden gem in the Anoka-Hennepin School District!" says Jessica Nichols, supervisor at the site. 

 

Community connection 

For over 20 years, there have been ECFE classes and parent education for families at this location. 

"The connection to the community is evident," Nichols explains. "We love it when a family shares as a child that they attended ECFE at this site and are now returning as a parent with their own child." This location also has staff who took ECFE classes and enjoyed it so much they decided to return as employees.

 

The Coon Rapids site has two ECFE classrooms, with one being a dedicated space for age-specific classes for children 2 and under. There is a gym with a large dome climber, a musical wall and other motor activities for all ages to explore.  Nichols adds, "The dedication, enthusiasm, compassion, and creativity of the staff make Coon Rapids Family Place a "must visit" for your next ECFE class."
