Strong Start Programs - Central Okanagan

Provided by Central Okanagan Public School District #23

A free drop-in early learning program for children aged 0 to 5 years (prior to entry into kindergarten) who are accompanied by their parents or caregivers.
StrongStart BC early learning programs provide school-based early learning services for families or caregivers and their pre-school aged children, at no cost to families. The programs are intended to fill a niche for young children who are not attending childcare and are in the home with their parent or other caregivers, such as grandparents or nannies.

Both children and adults benefit from StrongStart BC early learning programs – children have access to high-quality learning environments and benefit from social interactions while the adults who accompany them learn new ways to support learning, both at the program and at home.

The program is facilitated by a licensed Early Childhood Educator and runs Monday - Friday from 8:45 am to 11:45 am.

Registration for the StrongStart program is available online on the district registration website.
