Play Together, Make Friends, Get Support!

In this five-week series we will play together and engage in activities that encourage learning and healthy development while meeting and playing with other children and caregivers.

Each week, we'll also have a topic expert on hand to chat and play. You'll be able to ask questions and get information on raising healthy, happy children.

This program is designed for children 0-3 and their parents/caregivers. Older siblings welcome, too!

This beginner-friendly course is specially designed for older adults and individuals whose first language is Spanish. Students will learn the basics of using a computer, including how to use the keyboard and mouse, navigate the desktop, browse the internet safely, and use everyday programs like email, word processing, and video calls.
The course also introduces common computer terms in both English and Spanish to help students build confidence using technology at home, at work, or to stay in touch with family and friends. No previous computer experience is needed.

This class is held once a week for four weeks, and each lesson builds on the last.
For the best learning experience, attendance at all four classes is very important.
