The ribbon has been cut for a new StrongStart facility at Cranbrook’s Steeples Elementary.
StrongStart BC programs offer early learning development opportunities where early childhood educators lead learning activities.
“The Strongstart is an oppurtunity to provide social skills for kids before they enter kindergarten,” said SD5 board of education chair Doug McPhee.
“It’s a catchup program.”
He said the School District’s hope is to have one of these facilities for each school.
‘This is a lovely facility. The board’s wish and desire is to have a similar facility beside every one of the schools, particularly the elementary schools in this district,” he added.
“It adds such a wealth to the program and the community.”
This is the second StrongStart facility in Cranbrook. The other location is at Amy Woodlands.
