Parenting and Family Literacy Centres

Parenting and Family Literacy Centres are free, school-based programs for parents, grandparents and caregivers with children up to six years old.

These Centres offer a fun, play-based program to support children’s early learning and development and a place for parents to learn and connect with each other.

The Centres provide opportunities for parents and children to:

• Become familiar with their local school and establish positive home-school connections  
• Participate in a family literacy program that helps children develop and build essential literacy and numeracy skills   
• Get information about community resources   
• Discuss parenting concerns and seek referrals if necessary   
• Borrow multilingual books
