19 families and 41 children received back packs in the event sponsored by Chase Bank. They were filled with school supplies distributed to help children transitioning to kindergarten.
There was an interactive Financial Literacy Workshop where through fun activities parents and children learned about saving, spending wisely, and smart financial decisions. One exciting moment was touring the bank vault where children asked questions and explored. Parents shared they had never been inside a bank vault.

Parents thanked Chase Bank for investing in their children and providing resources to ease the financial burden of school preparation. Many shared appreciations for MNC’s Early Care and Education Program, and the commitment to connecting families with meaningful opportunities.

We welcomed returning and new families to MNC Helen Fabela Chavez Campus for 2026–2027 school year. During the drop-off, children were smiling and excited, pointing at the giant apple and crayon props with shouts of "Wow, look!” Families were greeted with sweet bread and coffee, and a photo booth to capture special first day memories. We also had tables with our MNC Housing and Homelessness Prevention team and the Children's Council, who shared valuable resources. Our first day was a huge success and a wonderful start to the new school year.

MNC Bayview Campus hosted a reading workshop for parents on the importance of play, shared reading, and face-to-face communication. A special guest from the Bay Area Discovery Museum led the English and Spanish workshop and modeled read-aloud techniques parents could use. Several parents shared not growing up with books in their homes but instead learned through folktales passed down within their cultures for storytelling and preserving knowledge.

One memorable activity featured a hands-on snow scene that complemented the story she read aloud about a snow day, bringing the book to life for participants. Parents left the workshop with new strategies to support literacy at home, thoughtful conversations for reflection, and the opportunity to enjoy coffee and Guatemalan pan dulce.

MNC Early Care & Education kicked off the program year with a successful Rooted & Renewed Pre-Service event bringing together ECE staff for a day of learning, reflection, and connection. Staff were inspired by keynote speaker Cynthia Yao, a Head Start alumna, who reminded us of the lasting impact early childhood educators have on children and families. Guest speaker Ronald Mah, Marriage and Family Therapist and child development expert, shared practical strategies for partnering with families and supporting children with challenging behaviors.

The day focused on staff wellness with activities like potting plants, soap making, clay crafting, creating trail mix, Zumba, a nature walk, and games. A day of professional growth, self-care, and reconnecting with our shared MNC mission as we begin another exciting year serving children and families.
