Join us for a fun math workshop for the family! Our Family Math Workshops will help you shift the narrative from "math is hard" or "math is boring" to understanding that math is a language spoken at home and everywhere we look! In the early years, the goal isn't about getting the right answer. Developing mathematical confidence and criticial thinking skills will build a solid foundation to explore and tackle math in the future! Sign up today!
To all our families, supporters and friends, we at ECDI wishes you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Introducing: Seeds of Our Story!
We’re excited to launch Seeds of Our Story, a new program that brings seniors and families together to nurture community through planting, growing, and learning—while sharing stories and laughter along the way.
Just like our regular family time, the program will start at 10:00 AM, with Demi available from 10:00 AM to chat and kick off the planting season.
Through this program, participants will:
Learn about growing practices and sustainable food
Explore traditions that have nourished communities for generations
Create lasting connections across generations
Together, we’ll sow seeds of resilience, pride, and belonging—one plant, one story, one connection at a time.
Let's come together to fight food insecurity in our little corner.
We can’t wait to see you there and start this special journey together!
