Hosted by Capilano University's Department of Community Development & Outreach, Family Circle is a free family learning program designed for children aged 0-5 and their family members.
Family Circle is an intergenerational family learning program focused on caregiver-child learning together. The program fosters early learning through activities such as games, music, arts and crafts, story time, and physical exercise. All these activities are designed to promote creativity and imagination, cognitive development, motor and physical growth, social interaction, emotional regulation, healthy eating, self-care, and overall well-being.
Healthy snacks are provided each session and some of the sessions may take place outside in Spring-Summer when the weather improves.
This program is geared towards parents, caregivers and children aged 0-5 years old. Diversity, inclusion, and multilingualism are fundamental principles of the program, specifically welcoming newcomers to Canada, low-income residents, parents, workers in entry-level jobs, Indigenous people both on- and off-reserve.
Registration is required, but any family is welcome to join once to see if the program meets their needs before deciding whether to register for the remainder of the sessions.
