Our school's outdoor classrooms are coming along beautifully, and we need your help to make them perfect for this school year! We are in need of 1-2 volunteers who would be available to assemble two outdoor benches that would be added to our outdoor classrooms. Anyone who is available and has a knack for assembling furniture is more than welcome to reach out to us to express your interest in volunteering to assist our school!

If you or someone you know is interested, please contact [email protected] with your contact information and availability.

Please help us launch this school year off by bringing our classrooms outdoors!

Classes are back in session, and we are thrilled to welcome our new and returning students to the CFEC 2026-27 school year!

One look into a therapy room at the CFEC reveals more than just toys and mats–you see essential tools designed to unlock a child's potential for independence.
As we prepare to serve an increased number of children with complex needs this school year, our we are investing in our therapy program to help all of our students reach their goals. Preparations include:

1. Recruiting & Retaining Specialized Staff: Bringing on top-tier therapists who understand complex physical and feeding needs.
2. Launching Pre-K Therapy (Ages 3-5): Funding the continuation of therapies into our Pre-K classrooms for the first time, serving children who don't qualify for the school system's EC preschool program but still need daily support to prepare for kindergarten.
3. Advanced Mobility Equipment: Investing in gait trainers, walkers, custom orthotics, and more for students to use while at school.
4. Speech & Feeding Tools: Upgrading our materials specialized for speech and feeding therapy.

We cannot do this without your support. A gift today ensures that the right tools - and the right people - are waiting for our students when the new school year starts in August. Donate today at https://www.thecfec.org/donate.
