Let's Talk Early Learning

​“Let’s Talk Early Learning” is an informal peer space, facilitated and led by three dedicated early childhood educators, Ivonne Garcia, Brittany Philpart, and Annette Wright. Let’s Talk sessions, which occur monthly during the school year, provide Oakland early learning professionals with a space to support and share with each other in a spirit of community. ​Professional development credits are available for those who attend the entire session. Breakout rooms offered in both English and Spanish.

The Fall 2026 Let's Talk Early Learning series will focus on gaining a better understanding of how to support children with special needs and their families, including the assessment and diagnosis process, the special education system and resources in Oakland, and parent and teacher rights. Join us as we learn and share more information about the special education process for families and for teachers.
