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.

LUNCH BUDDIES

SPANISH IMMERSION LIL’ LEARNERS PRESCHOOL AGE 3-5 Must be of age when entering the program

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.

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

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!

NEW CANOES IN SLOUGHS

Learning to play the piano is FUN! 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.

Classes are progressive: Piano 1, the beginner's class is followed

by Piano 2, etc. 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. Lab Fee: $25 payable to instructor at 1st class.

This comical mini production class brings out the shining star in every child! Students learn the fundamentals of acting as they rehearse and perform our funny script involving bedtime story chaos.

When little Robin demands his two babysitters tell him an original bedtime story, they weave an outlandish tale—about a monster that terrorizes villagers to steal their food—and cast Robin as the unexpected hero who bravely sends the monster fleeing. But when that outcome doesn't quite feel right, young Robin takes over as narrator to teach the babysitting duo a thing or two about fairy tale endings—and what being a hero really means. The final day of class features a performance for friends and family.

CERT educates people in the community about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area (e.g. earthquakes or fires) and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members are also encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

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 recruited 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.

SENIOR PEER COUNSELING PROGRAM The Senior Peer Counseling program works to ensure no one faces the challenges of aging alone. Specially-trained volunteer counselors provide weekly visits to adults age 55+ to help manage transitions and life changes such as health concerns, mobility issues, caregiver needs, and grief.

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 4371 or email ablickhamer@peninsulafamilyservice.org.
