SUMMARY:WPENS Preschool Open House
DESCRIPTION:WPENS Preschool Open House\nTuesday – Saturday\, February 20 – 23\, 9:30 – 11am \nCome check out the Westside Parent Education Network co-op preschool open house. Swing by anytime between 9:30 and 11:00 and see the magic that happens at WPENS’ pre-school! \nWe are currently enrolling for both spring 2024 and fall 2024. \nWPENS is a school for families. Since 1970\, WPENS has been providing a sense of community that supports your whole family\, valuable social skills for your child\, learning through play and incredible parenting seminars and speakers.  Our non-profit parent cooperative has been an integral part of Santa Cruz offering quality education to both child and parent. \nYou\, as a parent\, are able to support your child learning valuable life skills of sharing\, conflict management\, and cooperation.  Parent or caregiver involvement in the school provides a higher adult to child ratio and a lower tuition cost. \nParents and caregivers gain parent education through seminars and speakers at meetings\, and children gain experience at an amazing preschool. \nPreschool Program\nWhile parent education is the focus for the adult\, learning through play is the work of the child. At WPENS\, children freely choose from a variety of materials and play equipment depending upon their own interest\, learning style\, level of readiness and mood for the day. Allowed this freedom of choice\, the child’s play can be free\, spontaneous\, vigorous and creative. \nHands-on learning engages children in developing their whole being allowing them to become capable and enthusiastic learners. The curriculum for children includes art\, music\, dramatic play\, emergent literacy\, science\, math\, social development and large & fine motor activities. \nOur positive discipline philosophy teaches respectful and effective ways of promoting cooperation. The conflict resolution skills that children learn will help them in their relationships with other people in and out of school for the rest of their lives.

SUMMARY:Postpartum Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Postpartum Support International\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW SUPPORT GROUP!\n\n\n\nPostpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1\,000 deliveries.  After a PPP survivor’s symptoms have been stabilized\, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders\, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.  In response\, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis).   Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago\, you are welcome to attend our free\, online peer-to-peer support group.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here: https://www.postpartum.net/…/psi-online-support-meetings/\nFull Meeting Schedule

A decade has past since this market became year round and here you will find an excellent selection of organic produce from local farms\, tree ripened fruits\, dried fruit and nuts\, fresh bread\, pastries\, seafood\, pasture-raised organic meats and more.

If a customer swipes their CalFresh card for seven dollars\, they get seven dollars in Market Match tokens for free. Swipe $10\, you get $10. The goal of this project is to encourage CalFresh (EBT/SNAP) recipients to take advantage of fresh\, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.

SCCFM will be offering the Market Match program for the 2020 season. Locate the information booth and the market manager to redeem EBT coins and to participate in the Market Match Program.
