Sunnyvale

New Home for Sunnyvale Based Family Resource Center: The CHAC and FIRST 5 collaborative, in partnership with the Sunnyvale School District, is proud to announce we will be opening a NEW satellite Family Resource Center at Vargas Elementary. The full size classroom will provide an opportunity to have play and learn classes, parent meetings with childcare, and more. We expect to open in mid-August.

A warm THANK YOU to our hosts of the last three years, Caring Hearts CDC. They have been a generous and welcoming partner, and we appreciate their support as we grow into a larger space.

Now we need YOU to volunteer to help grow this new community. We are looking for dedicated volunteers to teach play and learn classes. Interested? Call 650-967-4813 or email mercystreetfrc@gmail.com and ask for Nancy.

CHAC/FIRST 5 Launching – “I’m Ready for Kindergarten” yearlong course at Vargas Elementary in Sunnyvale.

CHAC/FIRST 5 Family Resource Centers are proud to announce the launch of our “I’m Ready for Kindergarten” class starting in August. The program will reach Spanish speaking families who are not in preschool, to give them an opportunity to practice readiness skills. The program will serve 12 children ages 3-5 and their parents, and will last the school year, concluding with a graduation ceremony. Parts of the class will have parents and children together, like Arts Enrichment, but most of the course will have parents and children learning separately, allowing children to get used to separating and listening to the teacher. Classes for parents will be led by Community Worker Ana Moreno and the children’s classes will be led by Associate Community Worker Guadalupe Romo. We are excited to watch the children grow in the coming year. (Registration is full, but we are taking names for a waiting list).
