Parenting and Family Literacy Centres
Located in schools, Parenting and Family Literacy Centres help prepare children and their families for the transition to kindergarten by:
- Helping children build essential language and numbers skills through stories, music, reading and playing
- Encouraging families to engage in their children's learning
- Familiarizing children and families with school routines
- Giving children and families the chance to spend time with other families
- Linking families with appropriate community resources for special needs, health and other related services.
Centre staff work closely with kindergarten teachers to ensure a positive and welcoming learning environment that will help prepare children for school. The centres are free to attend and provide snacks. No pre-registration is required.
There are 155 centres located across the province. Find out if there's a centre in your area.
