what we’ve been up to
At Recess, our moments of celebration over the past couple of years have included:
Winning a Shine On Action Award through the San Francisco Park Alliance and building an outdoor Neighborhood Hub for Families.
Providing our weekly New Parent Groups at Black Bird Bookstore + Cafe. Tremendous gratitude Black Bird for hosting us and to Sierra Fish for facilitating these groups!
Joining the Bayview Alliance and beginning to explore opportunities for collaboration on the southeast side of San Francisco.
Meeting with D4 Supervisor Engardio and D9 Supervisor Ronen to learn more about the potential for bringing play spaces to other neighborhoods in the city. (Here’s a blog post from the D4 newsletter.)
Resuming our community playgroups in conjunction with SF Department of Public Health Home-Visiting Nurses and their clients.
Establishing new community playgroup programming in 2024 for moms in recovery and their caseworkers, in partnership with UCSF.
Celebrating our 7th year of support from Patricia De Fonte and De Fonte Law. If you’re looking to better understand estate planning and what documents you should have in place now that you’re a parent, please join her for all the details. We are incredibly grateful to Patricia for her years of support.
Embarking on a partnership with The National Center for Family Learning and Sparkler App to provide developmental playgroups that teach parents how to use play to support their child’s development, funded by the San Francisco Department of the Young Child.
