School Readiness Program – Events, Resources, Classes for Families with Children Ages 0-5 years old
What a child experiences during the first five years of life will greatly influence her/his progress in school. This is the third year that the School Readiness Program has been implemented at the Community Center. We have introduced, serviced, referred, played with, blessed over 250 children under the age of 5 and their families during this time! Now, families with young children have a “community” to socialize with, learn from, and give and gain resources from. New families come to the Community Center regularly to find out more information about the Ready, Set, Go School Readiness Program. We have many different activities, events, and resources for all families and all are FREE and Bi-lingual. For more information on the program or any events listed call Heather, Coordinator, at 488-4118 ex. 218 or email loft@sgvcc.org.
Ongoing: Free Weekly Playgroup for all children 0-5 years old, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10-12 in room 9 at Lagunitus School.
The Valley Playgroup for ages 0 to 5 meets every Tuesday and Thursdays from 10 to noon in room 9 behind the Community Center. It was organized by parents who took part in the School Readiness planning meetings. The group is for all children 0 - 5 and their parents or caregivers.
Bring your little ones down to play! Bring yourself to meet other families with little ones. For more information call Heather at 488-4118 ext. 418 or email loft@sgvcc.org
