Ready, Set, Learn is an initiative that recognizes that families need positive connections with the school system and community agencies that provide relevant resources, support and information. These events are a partnership between the province, the school district, and the early learning partners in the Kimberley, Columbia Valley and Golden area communities.
Ready, Set, Learn events may take place at various locations in the community and give parents and caregivers the opportunity to meet many early years partners (Speech Language, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, Public Health, Ministry of Child and Family Development, Ktunaxa Kinbasket Child and Family Services, Métis Nation BC, local food banks, the public library, and many more). These early years partners will provide helpful tips for supporting your preschooler's learning and development and they will hand out information about the many free, local services and supports available for families in your specific community.
Children who will be entering kindergarten in September, will also be invited to a Kindergarten Orientation at their neighborhood school. You can learn more about kindergarten registration and programming on our Kindergarten tile.
