StrongStart

StrongStart programs are a Free parent participation program 

 They provide safe rich learning environments designed specifically for children from birth to pre-kindergarten.  StrongStart programs focus on early learning development – language, physical, cognitive, social and emotional growth. Qualified Early Childhood Educators lead learning activities where children find opportunities to make friends and interact with others of similar ages.  Each centre will offer Art/Craft, along with Circle/Song time, a free snack and many many other opportunities to learn through play.
