Our
Parenting and Family Literacy Centres are school based
programs where parents/caregivers and their children, from
birth to six years of age, participate in play-based
activities that promote the development of literacy and
numeracy skills through discovery, inquiry, exploration and
creativity. The programs are FREE and open to all.
Our Parenting and Family Literacy Centres:
-
support children’s early learning and well-being of the
whole child
-
promote positive parent-child interaction and engagement
-
help children transition more easily to kindergarten
through a collaborative approach between
parent/caregiver, program facilitator and kindergarten
teacher
-
engage parents/caregivers positively with the school
system using an inclusive approach
-
meet the unique and individual needs of families
-
assist and link families to community resources
