StrongStart 2021-2022
School District 47 Early Learning is offering virtual programming through publications and on Instagram. Publications are created monthly and are both emailed to registered families and posted on this web page. Visit this web page often for new developments and updates.
The SD47 Early Learning Team has worked hard to develop an online virtual presence to inspire families since the COVID-19 pandemic hit British Columbia in March 2020.
