Language Center News – November 2018

Hello from the OC Childhood Language Center  where we remain focused on helping children become strong communicators.

The CLC reopened on September 25th after the summer break.  The reopening was delayed due to some water damage caused by a leaky pipe in the upstairs unit.  The building owners worked closely with the CLC to assess the damage and quickly repair the center, so the children could return.  Everyone is excited to have the children back at CLC, so they could continue the journey to becoming strong communicators.  We are so grateful for our new friend Melody for all the help and supports she has provided during this time.

We have over 50 children enrolled at the CLC and are scheduling evaluations to see who else can benefit from our award winning services.

It has become a tradition for Honorable Frankie Rosario 32° KCCH and his wife Cristi Shinn to provide backpacks and school supplies to the children at the CLC.  They generously search for just the right items that are needed to start the school year right.

This year Frankie & Cristi took this effort to a new level by adding dental hygiene supplies to the list.  Brother Frankie has learned that some families need help with basic dental hygiene supplies that can promote good oral health.

 The American Dental Association recommends everyone should brush their teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, a cleaning between your teeth once a day with floss and replacing your toothbrush every three or four months.

We look forward to bringing more great news to you from our CLC in the coming months.
