Please feel free to bring your registration form and/or documentation with you on one of your initial visits to a center. Our facilitators will be happy to assist you during program times.

Please find attached, for your information, a PDF copy of the Welcome Package we make available to parents in each of our centers.

Center Closures

From time to time our centers close for Professional Development days, program planning or for cleaning. We thank you for your patience as we tend to these important aspects of our program operations.

Occasionally, a center may close if a facilitator is ill and a replacement cannot be dispatched. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause when such a situation arises.

Please check this website, and the calendar of events below, for any news regarding center closures.

Maillard Relocation

Due to seismic upgrades scheduled for Maillard Middle School, the entire campus, including our StrongStart center, will temporarily relocate to Vanier School for the 2009/2010 school year.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new larger Vanier center this year! Vanier School is located at 1600 King Albert Avenue, just off of Poirier Street and across the street from SD43's Board Office.
