Celebrating the Center of your Universe
When the center of your world is your family, all of your experiences — as a parent, for your child, as a family unit — can be celebrated at the CFEC. We have designed a safe, eclectic, stimulating and educational environment that empowers you as a parent to enrich your family and have fun while doing so.
Learn. Socialize. Grow.
We tackle all aspects of raising a family — from the social needs of parents to connect with others, to a resource center to help you stay abreast of topics that are important and relevant to raising a healthy and happy child, to educational and fun programs for your whole family.

Wellness
To recharge your parenting batteries we offer multiple on-site therapy options. We also recognize that children, even infants, can experience stress, beginning at birth. With this in mind, our therapists are also available to work with your children in non-invasive ways that promote health and wellness. An emotionally healthy family is a happy family.

Flex Pass
If committing to a full series is impossible for your family, but you'd like your child to be able to participate, or you'd simply like to sample a few of our classes to see which ones you and your child enjoy the most, we provide the option of purchasing a Flex Pass. Flex Passes can be purchased in dollar increments of your choice, with a minimum of a 3-class purchase. Each class carries a value of $13.00. Please call before dropping in to be sure space is available, as Flex Passes can only be used in the classes that don't fill completely.
Note
If you're registering 2 children of similar ages in the same class your second child is 1/2 price. This option is only available if you register on site.
