Family Engagement Events

Oshkosh Early Learning hosts a variety of engaging events for families to attend. Our yearly family events encourage foundational learning that allows children to further develop their understanding of educational concepts through active interaction with their environment. Young learners develop skills in core areas through free-play and structured activities that the whole family can enjoy together.

Each year we host 2 Conscious Discipline Family Nights, a Math Block Party and a Fun at the Library Literacy event. 

Take-Home Learning Kits: Twice per year, every student receives a curated learning kit to keep! These kits include hands-on activities, educational materials, and guided instructions designed to make learning at home fun, interactive, and meaningful for the whole family.
