Do you have a 3 to 5 year old preschooler? The Central Okanagan Public School District is welcoming your family to participate in our Early Learning for Families (ELFF) events. (Also known as Ready Set Learn in other areas). Each elementary school hosts an ELFF event to foster early and positive connections with children and their families. Building the home to school connection can help create a gentler transition when your child joins us for kindergarten.
The ELFF event will include engaging and fun learning activities and give your child(ren) an opportunity to meet future faces. It is also a good opportunity for you to ask all your questions or wonders about kindergarten transition. Are you interested in tips and ideas for activities that encourage young children to become lifelong learners? Visit the provincial website for more information on Ready Set Learn: www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/early-learning/support/programs/ready-set-learn
Check the schedule for the date your neighbourhood school is hosting their ELFF event. Please contact your school for instructions on how to register.
