Frank J Mitchell Elementary School

StrongStart is a free school-based program for families with young children (aged birth to five). Parents/Caregivers accompany their child in play-based early learning activities. The provincial StrongStart program is in place to help prepare children for success in kindergarten.

The Centre's facilitators are qualified Early Childhood Educators who lead the learning activities where children learn through PLAY! Carefully selected materials and activities will promote the social, emotional, physical, cognitive and early literacy development in each child.

School District No. 5 operates four StrongStart Centres. Centres are FREE and run on a pre-registration basis for all families with children not yet in kindergarten. Programs  include a nutritious snack, circle time and free play time. Families will also have access to the gym.
