    • The Family Drop-in Program is for children (0-6 years) and their parents/caregivers. Through creative and educational activities, children will have the opportunity to engage in safe and stimulating social play and parents will have an opportunity to connect with other parents in the community. Parents enjoy participating in age-appropriate activities and games with their children and promoting school readiness. Parents may receive guidance on issues such as discipline, health, and development for their preschool age child from both staff and other parents within the community. OEYC also presents workshops on language development, oral hygiene, literacy, etc. Please contact us to learn of upcoming events.

    Our unique ability to address the needs of deaf parents and /or deaf children ensures it is an inclusive environment for all. Staff communicate in both English and American Sign Language.
