Play TOGETHER Learn TOGETHER
October 2026
Welcome to Linden Community Schools Early Childhood Center!
We are excited to begin a new year of playing and learning together!
Parent/Child Exploration classes
Linden Community Schools Early Childhood Center invites families with children birth to age 5 to participate in Parent/Child Exploration classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:45-10:45.
We are aware that sometimes playgroup is very busy; feeling comfortable in our space is important and we appreciate your patience as we make a few adjustments. Families are welcome to an additional playgroup on Tuesdays!
***NEW Parent/Child Exploration time added for Tuesday, October 13, 20, & 27 from 11:30-12:30!
Please check the calendar below for updates and posted events.
Our philosophy: Parents are their children's first and most influential teachers; playing and learning together promotes social skills, brain growth, and the bond between parent/caregiver and the child. We look forward to sharing these moments with you and your family!
