A StrongStart Centre is a school-based, early learning parent participation program and provides a new gateway to lifelong learning. On your first visit to any StrongStart Centre, please bring your child’s Birth Certificate and Care Card to register into the program.

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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. 27.

StrongStart Centres follow the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. 27 School Calendar, and close for holidays, Professional Development Days, and Not-In Session days.  StrongStart is offered at the following Locations (click on the school to find more information):
