Community Information

The Parenting and Family Literacy Centre 

The Parenting and Family Literacy Centre (PFLC) provides the opportunity for parents/caregivers and their children, from 0 to 6 years, to become familiar with the school community and routines. Through participating with your child in play, art, puzzles, reading and story and music time you will help your child to develop literacy and numeracy skills. The Centre also provides information and referral to community resources such as child care, counselling, public health etc.

The PFLC's hours are Monday - Thursday, 9:30 - 2:30 pm.
No pre-registration required. Join us anytime!
