StrongStart BC is a free early learning program, funded by the Ministry of Education, for pre-school children 0–5 years old and their parents, grandparents, and/or caregivers. Come to enjoy play time, free play, circle time with songs, stories, and crafts provided during each session.  

StrongStart BC is a program that offers today’s families an opportunity to provide their young children with problem-solving skills and the social skills that will help them successfully manage in school or within the community. The time participating in a StrongStart BC program is a wonderful way to begin introducing your child to your neighborhood school community.
