Honoring Children Worldwide
While the United Nations established World’s Children’s Day on November 20th, Mexico celebrates “El Día Del Niño” on April 30th. Our local celebration brings this tradition to Chula Vista, creating a day where children can play, learn, and enjoy special activities.
About the Chula Vista Community Collaborative
The Chula Vista Community Collaborative (CVCC) began when the South Bay Human Services Council and Vista Square Elementary staff identified community needs that required more than traditional school resources. In January 1993, they applied for a Healthy Start Planning Grant and received it in May 1993.
The collaborative later became part of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. With support from the Social Security Administration, City of Chula Vista, South Bay Family YMCA, Episcopal Community Services, Head Start, Vista Hill, and Human Services Council, they created a network to provide better support to families in need.
Renamed the Chula Vista Community Collaborative on its 10-year anniversary, CVCC has spent over 30 years connecting families with essential resources. These include family support and advocacy, parenting resources, health insurance enrollment, food assistance, and more.
At CVCC, we believe all students deserve an equal opportunity to succeed. We understand this starts with happy, healthy families and strong communities.
Join the Celebration!
Bring your family to Memorial Park for this special event on Saturday, April 19th. It’s a perfect opportunity to connect with community resources while creating wonderful memories with your children.
