Dear CPAD families and friends,

In these past 6 months, we and all our families have had been surprised by the prolonged pandemic. We all have to make adjustments to new challenges and adapt to this new norm of life …. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, CPAD has stopped all in-person program activities and events for the safety of our member families, because the California governor put the “Stay-at-Home Order” in place in March 19, 2020.

Aware of the isolation and challenges faced by CPAD family members during COVID-19, CPAD has also converted some of our in-person program activities into zoom meetings/activities which includes: Monthly Support Group/Trainings, Saturday Virtual Program, Rainbow Dance Classes, Chinese SAGE, and other additional zoom parent trainings. (see detail)

The need to change CPAD activities into virtual meetings and trainings actually have many unexpected positive outcomes.  CPAD parent leaders all have learned new technical skills in maneuvering virtual platforms which in turn equipped them to support member family’s tech needs.
