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.
School District No. 27 offers many free early learning programs for pre-school children to attend with their parents/caregivers. British Columbia’s Early Learning Framework is a document that is intended to guide and support early childhood educators and others in providing rich early learning experiences for children from birth to eight years of age.
