MNC hosted 197 parents and children for a Family Connections Event to promote less screentime and more family time to grow stronger parent-child connections and learn vital communication skills. This was the first event at MNC’s new campus at 2011 Bayshore.
At MNC Bayshore, the MNC Staff, volunteers and dozens of families enjoyed great weather and fun activities like bracelet making, pumpkin decorating, face painting, photo booths, coloring, and more! Free books were given to families and there was a petting zoo with goats, chickens, ducks and a pony. We also had Maya, a talented young star, sing live on stage and wow our staff and families.

The event was MC’d by Efrain Sandoval and Mariana Romero who talked about the importance of family time and including children in daily activities for more active engagement. They also announced drawing prizes to the Exploratorium, San Francisco Zoo and California Academy of Sciences. Lunch was provided by the next-door restaurant Bayside Café while music filled the whole event with energy.
Thank you to the San Francisco Foundation’s grant support for parent and family engagement that made this event possible. Shout out to the hardworking MNC staff and volunteers’ support to celebrate special family moments and building more connections with their children.

MNC's Early Care and Education Program hosted its Teacher Career Pathway Orientation, welcoming 25 parents eager to explore educational opportunities, advance their careers, and take meaningful steps toward achieving their professional dreams.
The orientation brought together dedicated community partners and professionals who shared valuable information about becoming an Early Childhood Education teacher, job readiness, and obtaining a GED. Participants learned about apprenticeship opportunities. One of the most inspiring moments was hearing a parent's personal testimony. She shared how MNC's programs and ongoing support have helped her build on her strengths, develop new skills, and pursue her career goals. Today, she is taking an exciting step forward by applying for a Teacher Assistant position!

MNC Evans Family Services offered a School District Workshop to 18 families covering topics such as requirements and documents needed to enroll their children and how to identify and choose a school that meets their children's educational needs.
We held an Infant Massage Workshop with seven mothers, one father, and their babies. The purpose is to support families in strengthening the emotional bond between parents and their babies by providing them with tools to encourage positive touch, emotional connection, and healthy development.
Lastly, we set up a Day of the Dead altar and invited families to join us for a fun movie afternoon. 48 attendees, including mothers and children enjoyed dinner while talking about the meaning and importance of the Day of the Dead altar. There were drawing, painting activities, and the m4ovie Coco, which helped the children better understand the meaning of the altar and the traditions associated with this special celebration.

MNC Mission Campus had a special visit from our friends to Mission Police Station! They brought each child a small pumpkin, and the children were excited to 4get them. They also received a special goodie bag to take home, which included a police badge sticker, face paint, and a little treat. It was a wonderful surprise that brought lots of smiles and excitement to our classrooms!
We are grateful to Mission Police Station for taking the time to visit our children and create such a fun and memorable experience. Thank you for helping make our fall season extra special!
