Strong Start Program at Norgate
Norgate's StrongStart Program
The years between birth and school-age are a critical time in a child's life. The experiences that children have in the early years influence their future health, well-being and life long learning. By investing in children's early years, we can positively affect the future lives of British Columbians. Children who have had exposure to language rich environments and play-based early learning experiences are more likely to develop the skills, knowledge and dispositions to support their success in school. Norgate's StrongStart Centre is located in the West Wing in Room 11. Please enter the school through the main entrance on Sowden Street.
Strong Start's hours are 9:00 - 12:00 noon - Monday through Friday.
Testimonials:
"(T)he Norgate Community School StrongStart Program ... means so much to my children, to me and to other parents in the community."
"As a parent of three children, the oldest in kindergarten this year and the youngest not quite one yet, it is so important for me to have a place within walking distance from my home where my two youngest can socialize in a friendly, family-oriented environment full of learning toys, crafts, music and stories."
"Being a first-time parent or new parent to Canada can be isolating in some ways, but StrongStart connects people so well that many of us feel like family now when we see each other after getting to know each other in such a warm and friendly environment."
