A place where families and children can connect, learn, and grow together!
Our Family and Children’s Program supports families with children aged newborn to 5 years old by offering a variety of no-cost/low-cost social and educational activities. Additionally, we conduct parenting support workshops facilitated by knowledgeable experts and provide access to com-munity resources and referrals.
Our program is designed to engage both children and their parent/guardian in actively learning together. Through a diverse range of activities, our community-responsive approach focuses on fostering healthy childhood development, enhancing parenting skills and knowledge, and strengthening social connections, ultimately empowering families to thrive. Our indoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to accommodate children with diverse abilities and needs.
We offer both drop-in and registered programs that revolve around play-based learning.
These programs encompass structured and unstructured play, incorporating elements such as songs, storytime, music, arts & crafts, imaginary play, and gross motor activities. With a primary focus on social-emotional learning, our programs aim to promote well-rounded early childhood development.
We embrace a welcoming, inclusive, and culturally safe environment, providing valuable opportunities for both children and adults to learn and connect.
*We do not provide daycare/childcare services
*Due to room capacity limits, families will be offered spaces in our drop-in programs on a first-come, first-served basis.
