Virtual StrongStart- STRONGSTART DO
StrongStart 2024/25
The qathet School District continues to offer online supports that enhance early learning experiences outside our StrongStart centres. This online publication is a great way for our families to stay connected even when they are unable to make it into a centre. Publications are created seasonally and follow a theme each time. Registered StrongStart families are emailed a copy and they are also posted on this web page for past reference.
