Thank you Junior League Volunteers!

Thank you volunteers from Junior League of Napa-Sonoma JLNS for coming out last week to support our distribution of PPE, early learning materials and provider appreciation gifts. Together we strengthened 82 child care providers and caregivers of more than 500 young children. Thank you David and Lucile Packard Foundation for your support of this vital program.

 

Thank you Sponsors and Donors

Thanks to our donors and sponsors we raised more than $10,000 through our Spring into Action for Children picnic pick-up event on Saturday! Your support helps us ensure that young children in our community enter Kindergarten ready to learn!

Jazz & Friends Virtual Community Reading / Lectura Comunitaria Virtual

Join Rainbow Action Network and Community Resources for Children for our 2nd Annual Jazz & Friends Community Reading (Virtual) on Thursday, February 25th at 3:30pm. We will be reading It’s Okay to be Different by Todd Parr in both English and Spanish. After the book, we will have a brief discussion and walk children through a related craft activity.
Please register for the event here: http://bit.ly/2YLra2t
Craft activity materials for 50 children will be provided by Community Resources for Children and are available for pick up at 3299 Claremont Way #1, Napa, CA 94558 on the following days and times:
Tuesday February 23 8:30am -12:30pm
Wednesday February 24 8:30am -12:30pm

Please register for the event before February 21st so that we can reserve your craft materials for you.
If you have any questions, please contact Lilea at lilea@first5napa.org
Note: This event is specifically geared towards children 3-6 years old, though all children are welcome. Because it is geared towards this age group, we have chosen a book that will be a better fit for a virtual event for this age group than the Welcoming Schools recommendations. However, we highly recommend you read When Aidan Became a Brother by Kyle Lukoff with your children at home or in the classroom.
Únase a Rainbow Action Network y Community Resources for Children para nuestra segunda lectura comunitaria anual Jazz & Friends (virtual) el jueves 25 de febrero a las 3:30 pm. Leeremos Está Bien Ser Diferente, escrito por Todd Parr en inglés y español. Después del libro, tendremos una breve discusión y guiaremos a los niños a una actividad de arte.
Regístrese para el evento aquí: http://bit.ly/2YLra2t
Los materiales de actividades de arte para 50 niños serán proporcionados por Community Resources for Children y están disponibles para recoger en 3299 Claremont Way # 1, Napa, CA 94558 en los siguientes días y horarios:
Martes 23 de febrero 8:30 am -12:30pm
Miércoles 24 de febrero 8:30 am -12:30pm
Jueves 25 de febrero 8:30 am -12:30pm
Regístrese para el evento antes del 21 de febrero para que podamos reservar sus materiales.
Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con Lilea en lilea@first5napa.org
Este evento está dirigido específicamente a niños de 3 a 6 años, aunque todos los niños son bienvenidos. Debido a que está dirigido a este grupo de edad, hemos elegido un libro que se adaptará mejor a un evento virtual para este grupo de edad que las recomendaciones de Welcoming Schools. Sin embargo, le recomendamos que lea “When Aidan Became a Brother” de Kyle Lukoff con sus hijos en casa o en su salón.
