OVERVIEW
The Family Education Program (FEP) promotes lifelong learning in
families with children ages newborn to six. A parenting
instructor and an Early Childhood Educator meet with family
members each week at state-certified sites in rural communities
throughout North Central Idaho. Children receive literacy and
developmentally appropriate activities based on current
research. Parents participate with the children for the first
hour of each session, and then focus on parenting education,
academic development, English as a Second Language, High School
Equivalence or GED, basic life skills development, job readiness
training, basic computer skills, and other areas of study that
help make the family unit more self-sufficient. The Family
Education Program is currently available in Craigmont,
Grangeville, and Kamiah.
Funding: The Family Education Program is fully funded with state
appropriated dollars.
