Strong Start

Effective Tuesday September 24 2024, Colwood Strong Start will be back up and running. The program will run on a drop-in basis so you will not need to pre-register your child before you arrive.

Shawna Rothman will be the facilitator. Welcome Shawna.

The hours will be 9:00-12:00 Monday – Friday.
