The Early Childhood and Families Department offers programs for children aged 0 to 5 and their parents or caregivers. Our goal is to nurture healthy child development in a welcoming, engaging environment using innovative early childhood practices.
Our educators and animators guide activities and workshops, including Playgroup, Sharing Stories and Children’s Corner. Through play and hands-on experiences, children grow their early literacy, physical and social-emotional skills while building strong, healthy attachments.
Our programs also give families a chance to connect, share experiences and build community. Workshops like Growing Together, Speaker Series and Cooking Workshops provide space to explore parenting, exchange ideas and discover new strengths.
We believe parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. By involving families and the wider community, we help create a strong foundation that empowers both children and those who care for them.
