COVID-19 Update: Strong Start Program Interruptions
Letters, Sounds and Words™: The Letters, Sounds and Words program will be implemented during the 2020-2021 school year, when it is confirmed that volunteers may enter schools to safely work with children. Volunteer Coaches are encouraged to contact their school(s) to find out when they can resume their volunteering.
Please note: Volunteer Coach Training registrations are now posted. Click here for the full schedule.
Get Ready for School™: Due to the COVID pandemic, we will be delivering an online version of the Get Ready for School program this upcoming year. To learn more about the Get Ready for School @ Home program and our application process for the Spring session, click here.
Baby Connections®: Due to the COVID pandemic, Strong Start’s in-person Baby Connections programs may be interrupted. To support families during this time, we have developed Baby Connections @ Home, an online version of the program. Please click here for more information.
Our office in Waterloo (565 Kumpf Drive) is currently closed for regular business in compliance with the Ontario lockdown and Stay-at-Home order. We continue working remotely to support the delivery of programs. We can be contacted by email or by phone (519-743-9578) during regular business hours.
