Our Early Learning Program (ELP) is designed for refugee/newcomer children aged 0 to 6 and their parent/care providers who have multiple barriers to integration. The modified early childhood center provides a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere every week.

Kindergarten Orientation
Our Kindergarten Orientation program helps families understand the Canadian school system and prepares children for a smooth transition into kindergarten. Through play-based activities, routines practice, and parent information sessions, families learn what to expect, how to support their child, and how to feel confident on the first day of school.
Best Baby
Best Baby offers support for parents with infants from birth to 18 months and pregnant moms. Families receive guidance and information on nutrition, sleep, developmental milestones, and taking care of newborns. This program also creates a warm space for parents to connect, share experiences, and build community. Hot lunch provided with gift cards.
Healthy Children
Healthy Children focuses on physical, emotional, and developmental wellness for children ages 0–6. Activities include movement play, nutrition education, early learning activities, and parenting tips. The goal is to support children’s overall growth and help families build healthy daily habits.
Field Trip & Community Events
We organize field trips and community events to help newcomer families explore local resources, parks, and cultural experiences. These outings help families connect with the community, make new friends, and learn about services available in the area—all while enjoying fun, hands-on experiences together.
Science Play
Science Play introduces young children to simple science concepts through hands-on experiments and exploration. Children learn through curiosity—mixing, observing, predicting, and discovering how things work. This program encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and a love of learning.
Creative Art
Creative Art gives children the opportunity to express themselves through drawing, painting, crafting, and open-ended art activities. We focus on the creative process rather than the final product, helping children develop fine-motor skills, imagination, and confidence in their own ideas.
Early Literacy Program
Our Early Literacy Program supports children ages 0–6 in building strong foundations for reading and language development. Through songs, stories, rhymes, and interactive play, children learn new vocabulary, practice listening skills, and develop a love for books. Parents also learn simple strategies to support reading and language at home. This program helps families grow together through joyful learning.
Bond to Literacy
A early literacy program designed for families with children ages 3 to 5 years to provide parents with tools and support for Parent-Child engagement while improving literacy and school readiness. The program empowers parents to build confident and meaningful connections with their children while fostering a learning and school-ready home environment. The program’s activities are thoughtfully designed to enhance children’s language, math, literacy, motor skills, and science concepts.
