Your child’s education begins well before they start school. There are many things you can do to help develop your pre-schooler’s love of learning and prepare them for school.
- Encourage your child to try new activities and experiences
- Talk to them and ask questions

- Set a daily routine with meals, activities and bedtime to help your child learn routines
- EarlyON Child and Family Centres, designed to support your child’s early learning development
- Socialize with other children
- Contact your local school to learn about their regular programs and events
