JCAS is pleased to introduce a new Early Childhood Enrichment program in collaboration with The Center for Early Childhood Connections (CECC).
CECC provides relationship focused, culturally attuned, and collaborative educational, mental health and wellness supports starting from pregnancy through age eight, for young children and those who care for them.
All classes take place at 558 Bellevue Ave. Oakland, CA.
Classes Offered:
Peace Arts: Creative Play & Wellbeing
Tuesdays • 10:00-11:30 AM • 1/21 – 3/18 (no class on 2/18)
2 – 5 years old • $250-$350
The Peace Arts class is designed to promote the resilience of young children ages 2 – 5 by building trust with their caregivers and engagement in positive, therapeutic and FUN arts experiences. The class is co-taught by two experienced staff: a Teaching Artist and an endorsed Early Childhood Mental Health Practitioner who lead the group in engaging projects that allow for healthy relationships building, self-expression, sensory integration and exploration of the amazing world around us. One infant sibling (Under 6mo) may participate for free with an older sibling and adult caregiver.
SLIDING SCALE PRICING
All JCAS classes are made available to families on a sliding scale. Families choose the amount they are able to pay, considering the top end of our scale is how much it costs us to run the class. We encourage families to help support our efforts to make programs available to those in need.
If the sliding scale prices are still out of your family’s budget, please email us at [email protected] for financial aid. Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis. Apply today!
