StrongStart Centers in Saanich Schools

A school based, early learning, free program for infant-5 year old preschool children and their parents and caregivers.

What is a StrongStart Centre?

• A program that offers families an opportunity for their preschool children to develop important skills prior to school entry. Through play, children are introduced to books, art, stories, songs, and healthy eating habits important in their overall development.
• A program that recognizes the parent or caregiver as the first and most important teacher in a child’s life. We provide ideas, resources and community links to support parents in their role.
• A program that encourages family literacy through reading, oral story telling and music.
