PreSchool PALS (Parents as Literary Partners)
The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) is facilitating the
Preschool PALS (Parents as Literacy Supporters) program for preschoolers in
all eight StrongStart programs in the district in November, February, and
April. The goal of Preschool PALS is to work with parents and caregivers
supporting their children¹s early literacy development. At each session,
preschoolers will participate in a number of literacy activities with their
parents/caregivers and each child will receive a book and some learning
materials to take home.
Pre-registration for each session at your local StrongStart Centre is encouraged.

Early Learning Fairs are a joint venture held in conjunction with community organizations to bring together early childhood resouces, information and some fun for parents and their preschoolers.
