Distance Learning Opportunity

Beginning Thursday, March 19, 2020, the Children’s Center’s Early Education and Care on-campus services were suspended until further notice. We are now offering a Distance Learning on-line daily zoom program FREE of charge.

Our Children’s Center is offering distance learning activities:

Zoom group meetings 5 days a week for 30 minutes each day
Group meetings take place in the morning and the afternoon
Groups are composed of up to 12 children that meet together with the same teachers; forming a class on a virtual platform!
FREE program for all
Open to CSUN students, faculty & staff, and community members with children 1.10 to 4 years old
Led by experienced teaching staff from the A.S. Children’s Center
Utilize the Creative Curriculum created by Teaching Strategies
Teacher’s engage children by alternating Developmentally Appropriate active and passive activities

Parents will be provided with weekly Home Study- Guided Learning Plans to support collaborative learning through fun activities families can do with materials they most likely have at home.

Tips to help your child succeed in Zoom sessions:

Parent support during zoom sessions
Prompt arrival to sessions
Complete any eating prior to session so your child can be safe, speak, and socialize
Provide a set & safe space for your child to participate where they can sit, use a table surface, and have room to get up and move.
Please dress for “school”
Provide basic school supplies that you already have at home in a set & accessible space for your child to use during sessions

Daily activities will follow a routine that includes:
