StrongStart
StrongStart Programs provide opportunities for early learning through play in an environment carefully designed to encourage exploration and discovery. Qualified Early Childhood Educators provide a variety of activities designed to encourage children on their learning path alongside their parents and caregivers before they enter school.
StrongStart is a free program for 0-5 (pre-Kindergarten), with their parents/grandparents/caregivers to attend. Parents and Caregivers are expected to be actively involved and engaged with their child during the StrongStart visit, so that there is optimum child development and shared learning. StrongStart supports the development of young children consistent with the goals of the British Columbia Early Learning Framework.
