This year, the nonprofit Contra Costa Child Care Council has scheduled over fifty hours of classes in Spanish in order to expand professional learning opportunities for Spanish-speaking child care providers.
The classes are designed to aid caregivers who wish to improve their child care business and learn more about how to provide “quality” child care. By learning businesses skills and how to be more responsive to children’s needs, child care providers who speak Spanish have a better chance of sustaining and growing their child care businesses. Thursday, Dec. 3, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Creando relaciones con los Padres de Infantes y Niños Pequeños(Infant/Toddler Creating Parent Relationships).
Location for the two workshops: Child Care Council – Richmond Office 3065 Richmond Parkway, Suite 112, Richmond, CA 94806.

Primero La Caja, a solo exhibition of photography and sculptural
Galería de la Raza is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Puerto Rican-born artist Pablo Guardiola, that includes photography, objects, and sculptural work. The artist’s installation at Galería de la Raza will be his largest and most ambitious presentation of work thus far.
Guardiola’s work references the poetic language found in everyday objects and the power of context in the creation meaning. While composed of familiar images and everyday elements, his artistic practice is that of giving new meaning to objects through photographic metaphors. In this particular body of work, Guardiola utilizes the box and the idea of the container as a point of departure for the perception of random encounters of the everyday.
Opening Reception, Saturday, Dec. 5th, 7:30 p.m. Exhibition runs until Jan. 23rd, at Galleria de la Raza, 2857 24th St., San Francisco, California.
