Throughout the year Connections for Children hosts a variety of events and educational programs for parents, early care providers and educators, and community members.
Please check our Events Calendar to view our upcoming events!
Holiday Angels
Every year Connections for Children collects holiday gifts for children whose families are enrolled in our child care subsidy program. Through the Holiday Angels Program, we share the spirit of giving.
This event is a great opportunity for schools, businesses, and corporations to join together to contribute games, toys, and books. Each year the number of children we serve grows. Support is critical to give all our children a very happy holiday.
The deadline for Holiday Angels has passed, but you can still support this and other CFC programs with a donation.
If you would like to become a Holiday Angel for 2025, please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Kimberly Jimenez or 310-452-3325 x276.
Betsy Awards
The Betsy Awards, established by Connections for Children, honor individuals and organizations that have made a profound impact on the lives of young children and families. Named after Betsy Hiteshew, a nationally renowned early childhood pioneer and co-founder of Connections for Children in 1976, the awards celebrate those who share her legacy of commitment to high-quality, accessible early childhood education and family support. This inspiring event brings together educators, advocates, and community leaders, highlighting achievements that advance equity and opportunity for children and families across the community.
