Our Head Start program aims to strengthen and prepare Aboriginal children ages 3 - 5 years of age with the necessary school-readiness skills and cultural foundation to enter mainstream schools on an equal basis with all other children in a positive, fun, stimulating, and respectful learning environment. Our main program philosophy is “Learning Through Play”.
