Dublin Launches Rec Program For Working Parents With Young Kids

DUBLIN, CA — Dublin is launching a day care program to give a helping hand to working parents from August 17 through September 25.

Kids in first to fifth grades will be overseen during school distance learning hours and play afterward as part of the Learning in a Virtual Environment (LIVE) 'n' Rec program, the city said. Parks and Community Services staff will oversee their schedules and help them complete online learning courses.

Kids in groups of up to 12 will play together and participate in games, activities, sports, arts and crafts, creative play and fitness activities.

There will be daily temperature checks, social distancing, frequent hand washing, and sanitizing supplies and equipment, the city said.

Kids must bring their own food, drink, snacks, schooling materials, including schoolwork passwords, computers, headphones, notebooks, pencils and pens, and other tools.

There will be two three-week sessions. Residents will be charged $300 and non-residents will be charged $360. The program runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays at the following sites:

• Dublin Library
• Dublin Senior Center
• Dublin Heritage Park and Museums
• Shannon Community Center
• The Wave at Emerald Glen Park
