We will provide information about regulations affecting your immigration status in the United States.  We will also provide information to assist you and your family as you transition to life in Pasadena.  Topics such as housing, driver's licenses, schools, child care, social life, networking, banking and more will be addressed.

 

CHILDCARE:

The Child Education Center will provide free childcare during both orientation programs only if at least two children are registered in advance.  Childcare will not be provided if fewer than two children are enrolled.  In that case, you are welcome to bring your child/ren with you to orientation.  If necessary, newborn and young babies may attend orientation with you.  The teachers will not provide diaper changing.  You will need to provide your telephone number to the teachers. 

Register children by Monday, November 9, 2015.  Provide the age and number of children who will attend.  You must arrive with your children at 8:45 AM
