StrongStart
A StrongStart Centre is a school-based, early learning parent participation program and provides a new gateway to lifelong learning. 
It offers a high quality early learning opportunity to families with young children that encourages problem-solving skills, self-esteem building practices, and the social skills that will help them successfully manage in school and lay a foundation for life-long learning.
This program recognizes that the parent is the first and most important teacher in a child’s life. Increased involvement in their child’s education contributes to success and teaches family literacy and the importance of a family-involved education.
The StrongStart Early Learning Centres are funded and supported by the Ministry of Education and School District No. 27.
