The Children’s Centre Headstart Preschool Program provides an opportunity for children ages 3 to 5 years to get a “Headstart” before entering the school system.
Bus transportation is available for those requiring this service.
The program focuses on two key areas:
The development of cognitive and social skills. An emphasis is placed on the development of early literacy and language skills.
The nurturing of a strong sense of self-esteem within each child.
