Resources
General
If you haven't been to the library in awhile, now's the time to get reacquainted! The Gladstone Public Library offers so much more than just traditional book lending.
​
As a library in the LINCC system, you have access to eBooks and eAudiobooks that you can reserve and download from home! The Gladstone Library also offers a summer reading program that's always fun to engage in.
The Gladstone Kids Clothes Closet offers free clothing and shoes for kids age 0-21.
Community members from Gladstone, Jennings Lodge, and Oak Grove are welcome to shop the food pantry. You don't need to have a student in the district, all community members are welcome!
In addition to being the home of Kindergarten for Gladstone School District, the GCCF offers health services, a dental clinic, and other family services.
Parenting Support
Clackamas Parenting Together offers parenting classes, events, and connection for parents in Clackamas County. My family has attended their "Get Prepped for Preschool" event for the last two years, and it was a great way to help locate and interview local preschools. Their events page has something to do with your kids almost every day of the week!
Early Learning Hub of Clackamas County offers resources for younger children, and provides an excellent overview of the tuition-free preschool options in Clackamas County.
EI/ECSE offers free support to young children who have delays or disabilities that affect learning. Their website hosts development questionnaires that can help you determine if your child might benefit from additional support. One of our children has been working with a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for the past few years and it's been such a gift for our family. The teachers he has worked with have been incredible, especially Teacher "B", who has really instilled in our preschooler a love for learning. If you have even a hint that your kiddo might need some additional support, I would really encourage you to reach out.
