Thank-you to all of the StrongStart families for understanding and adjusting during these difficult and uncertain times. The StrongStart Facilitators have been hard at work staying connected by offering online learning experiences for families. They will continue to do so through June 19, 2020. The partial return to in-class instruction is for K-12 programs only and will not include StrongStart.

We will wait to take guidance from the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Health Office in September before opening StrongStart centers again. We hope to welcome families back then! In the meantime, continue to be safe and kind and find joy in spending time with each other.
