StrongStart provides many opportunities for children to interact with others and engage in a wide variety of activities to contribute to development (language, physical, social and emotional).  This helps prepare young children for success in Kindergarten!

Tip of the month for October – Singing.  It’s as easy as singing nursery rhymes and songs with your child.  Try singing while driving in the car, making supper, or when cuddling.  Singing nursery rhymes helps your child learn patterns in language and builds vocabulary.

Tip of the month for September – Talking & Listening.  It’s as easy as talking about everything you see while you drive, walk, play or even cook supper. Children who are exposed to a lot of language early on are more successful with language and reading later on.
