SPANISH IMMERSION LIL’ LEARNERS PRESCHOOL

AGE 3-5 MUST BE OF AGE BY SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

This program is designed for children to develop social, cognitive, and physical skills in a stimulating and warm environment. Teachers implement a child-centered philosophy to create a curriculum responsive to all the children in the group. Children will be introduced to a variety of Pre-K concepts including language, math, art, science, music and movement. By creating an environment that balances teacher directed and unstructured activities, children will develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of the world around them.

AGE 3-5 MUST BE OF AGE BY SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

Research shows that total immersion is the best way for children to develop a long lasting foundation in the Spanish language. 90% of instruction will be in Spanish and 10% in English. The classes are designed to spark and maintain children’s interest in Spanish by engaging them in creative and enjoyable cultural activities such as dancing, singing, literature, art and games. Through immersion, children will learn the Spanish language naturally and easily as they master basic pre-school skills.

LUNCH BUDDIES

Add an additional hour to your child’s class. Please send a lunch to school with your child. After lunch, activities will be available.

NATURE PROGRAM AT STULSAFT PARK PENINSULA FOREST AND BEACH SCHOOL

www.peninsulaforestandbeachschool.com AGE 3-5

Our nature program emphasizes unstructured, child-led creative play in combination with a nature connection program. Our Nature Mentor will guide your children through experiential based learning opportunities. A typical day might include a nature treasure hunt, creek exploring, nature wandering, climbing hills, fairy garden construction, shelter building, nature based arts and crafts, nature journaling, storytelling and child inspired play. We will have the opportunity to get to know about the plants, animals, insects, trees and other cycles of nature that will be happening around us.

For our classes, we ask that children have their own backpack with a snack, a lunch, and a water bottle. Children should be dressed for varying weather conditions since we operate 100% outdoors.

PARENTS-TO-BE & PARENTS WITH BABIES: BIRTH TO 18 MONTHS WITH HAPPY BABY SIGNS WWW.HAPPYBABYSIGNS.COM

Baby Sign Language gives babies the opportunity to communicate long before they can verbalize their wants and needs. Signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration, enhances a child's self esteem, and deepens the bond between parent and child. Fun activities and songs will show how easy it can be to integrate more than 30 signs into your everyday routine and jump-start your child’s verbal skills. Babies are welcome but not required. This Introductory Workshop can be followed by 6-week sessions offered by Happy Baby Signs at other locations with themes like mealtime, animals, colors, family, bedtime, and more!

MULTI-GROUP PIANO CLASSES

AGE 6-9 WITH SVETLANA TUCHINSKY, B.M., MA EDUCATION & 15+ YRS EXPERIENCE.

Learning to play the piano is FUN! We believe that piano lessons should be enjoyable and productive, not dull and isolating. By putting students into small groups in the beginning, we give them a chance to share the learning experience with others. This creates a built-in support team of friends and encourages children to practice. Activities include music-oriented games, EZ music theory, and ear-training.

Each student has access to a piano or keyboard in class; however, a piano or keyboard is needed to practice at home. Mindful of gradual reopening, we reduced the size of the group to 3-4 students for in-person classes. Students meet once a week for 35 minutes class.

Special care is taken to connect participants with someone who shares similar life-experiences and perspectives, with programs offered in languages such as English, Mandarin, Spanish, and Tagalog, and to participants who identify as LGBTQ. Peer counselors meet with participants via telephone, zoom or when possible in person. For more information contact Ann Blick-Hamer at 650-403-4300, x 4322 or email ablickhamer@peninsulafamilyservice.org.

Get App-y!

If you are 55 or older and enjoy using apps, we have a great opportunity for you! In 2021 Peninsula Family Service will be recruiting a group of participants to try the Wysa app and provide feedback. It is natural to feel anxious during these difficult times and Wysa is an App that can support emotional health, relieve stress and anxiety through a variety of calming activities. Wysa has helped over two and a half million people and we want to know if you think older adults in San Mateo County will find it helpful too. Participants will receive gift cards. Tell a friend and sign-up together! For more information or to sign-up to test Wysa, email Arlene Aquino aaquino@ peninsulafamilyservice.org or call 650-403-4300 ext. 4327.
