City Of Dublin Introduces A New Program To Provide Support For Working Parents

Press release from the City of Dublin:

August 6, 2020

The City of Dublin has announced that registration is now underway for L.I.V.E ‘n’ Rec (Learning in a Virtual Environment), a new program to provide support for working parents with children in 1st to 5th grades. This six-week program will run from August 17 through September 25. The program may be extended if distance learning is extended by the Dublin Unified School District.

As school resumes virtually and students begin to navigate distance learning, trained Parks and Community Services staff will oversee students, providing assistance and support to help them complete online learning modules. Students will be assigned to stable cohort groups of no more than 12, adhering to all State and County safety guidelines and protocol. This includes daily temperature checks, proper social distancing, frequent hand washing, and regular sanitizing of supplies and equipment.

Once distance learning is complete, play begins. Students will engage in cooperative games, activities, sports, fitness activities, creative play, and arts and crafts.

Students must bring all distance learning equipment and materials including laptop computers, headphones, pens, pencils, notebooks, etc., as well as the specific links and passwords required to access their schoolwork. Students must also bring their own lunches, snacks, and beverages. No food will be provided due to COVID-19 protocols.

The program will be open, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday at five sites in Dublin: Shannon Community Center, Dublin Senior Center, The Wave at Emerald Glen Park, Dublin Library, and Dublin Heritage Park and Museums.

The cost of the six-week program is $600 for Dublin residents; $720 for non-residents. For more information or to register, visit DublinRecGuide.com.
