Early Learning & Child Care
StrongStart
9:00 am to 1:00 pm - Monday to Friday
StrongStart BC programs provide rich learning environments designed for early learners aged birth to five, accompanied by an adult. Led by qualified Early Childhood Educators, StrongStart engages participants in play-based learning, story, music and art. At no cost to families, this early learning drop-in program helps prepare children for success in Kindergarten.
To attend StrongStart, you will complete a registration form on your first day. Please also be prepared to provide legal proof of identification for your child – this includes:
- Any type of vital statistics document, like a birth certificate
- Identification issued by Immigration Canada (e.g. passport, visa, permanent resident card)
School office staff will be happy to assist you with this process.
Your child’s initial registration into a StrongStart BC program will also mark the beginning of their educational record in BC, and they will receive a Personal Education Number (PEN).
