A mother of two, Debbie Abrams Kaplan brought her children to the San Mateo Adult School’s Learn Through Play class for several years, beginning when her son was just a babe in arms and her daughter was a year old.
Debbie says that in the class, her kids gained socializing skills playing with and around other kids of different ages. They learned about different cultures and did art projects and played with toys they wouldn't have had at home. It was a regular presence in their lives, and they liked going.
As for herself, Debbie says, “It was great to meet other parents, especially those from other cultures. It was a great way to share our backgrounds and learn about parenting styles and parenting issues. I looked forward to going and having new friends, as well as a safe place for my kids to learn and grow. I loved the variety of having different activities, songs to learn, art projects and that it was a drop-in program.”
Debbie now writes the blog Frisco Kids, a guide to kid-friendly events and trips in the San Francisco Bay Area… and beyond.
