StrongStart is a FREE early learning drop-in program for children birth to 5 years of age. Parents and/or caregivers attend this fully funded Ministry of Education program with their children. Teacher Trish is an Early Childhood Educator who will provide a rich play-based learning environment full of activities. Activities provided will promote opportunities where your child/children can make new friends, explore new activities and learn skills that will assist them in the preparation and successful transition to kindergarten. As adults you are encouraged to get involved in the learning activities with your children, like stories, music, art and playing games. You are your child’s first role model and teacher. Please feel free to ask questions, share comments or suggestions with Trish. Join StrongStart as we learn new ways to support your child’s learning, get information about community resources and make valuable connections with others attending the program. We look forward to the partnerships we will build together.
Our first day of Simonds StrongStart is Wednesday September 16
