StrongStart Programs & Early Learning

StrongStart is a free, drop-in early learning program for children 5 and under and who are accompanied by a parent, or caregiver. Our StrongStart programs offer “Drop-in” visit systems for families!

Parents and caregivers attending StrongStart centres can expect to participate in organized sessions like story time and play-based activities. They are likely to discover new ways to support their children’s learning at home, and may make valuable connections with other in the community who are also attending the centre.

Qualified Early Childhood Educators lead learning activities such as stories, music, and art to help your child prepare for success in Kindergarten.

You and your child will:

  • Explore art through a variety of activities
  • Explore with sand and water
  • Learn songs and finger plays
  • Listen to stories
  • Enjoy music
  • Build with blocks
  • Play with toys, dolls, puppets, and trucks
