We are pleased to partner with Olive Crest to offer a free online six week "Active Parenting for the First 5 Years" workshop for our early learning community.

Join us on November 20th in the Early Learning Community Center (2345 E. Palmyra Ave.) to learn how to help your child manage their big emotions! Every child struggles with expressing how they feel and knowing how to calm themselves when they are upset. Come to our Parent Engagement Workshop from 9:00-10:30 and leave with great tools and a "Calm Down Kit" to take home and enjoy with your child.

Childcare is available and presentation is in English and Spanish. Please park on Yorba Street and look for the Yellow, Pink & Blue balloons!

We are so excited to share that we are opening another OUSD Learning Link location this month at Linda Vista Elementary School. We are working hard to get it ready, and will communicate a grand opening date soon!

Linda Vista's Learning Link will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30-11am.

Learning Link sessions are open to any caregiver and child (age Birth to 4). No pre-registration is required, simply show up with your little one and enjoy the activities and learning together!
