SUMMARY:EXTERNAL: SPARK Program
DESCRIPTION:S.P.A.R.K. (Supporting Parents Along the Road to Kindergarten) is a free program designed for parents and caregivers of children from newborn to age 5. Through fun, engaging sessions, you’ll learn valuable strategies and activities to support your child’s early learning and development.\nEach family attends a 60-minute live virtual session once every fall, winter, and spring, continuing until your child enters kindergarten. During each session, you’ll join other caregivers of similarly aged children to explore how children learn and grow. S.P.A.R.K. is based on the British Columbia Early Learning Framework.\nWhat to Expect:\n\nInteractive, age-specific virtual sessions with other families\nToys and learning materials provided when you register\nOpportunities to reflect, connect, and learn with a supportive community\nA philosophy grounded in the belief that learning happens naturally through everyday experiences, relationships, and joy\nDolly Parton’s Imagination Library – Important Information:\nAs part of the S.P.A.R.K. program, families have the opportunity to register for the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which delivers a free, age-appropriate book to your child every month until their fifth birthday.\n\nTo be eligible:\n\nYou must register each time the S.P.A.R.K. program is offered — up to three times per year (fall, winter, and spring).\nYou must attend the virtual session in order to join or continue in the Imagination Library.\nNon-attendance at a session means you will not be eligible to receive books from the Imagination Library program.\n\nThe virtual sessions are on Wednesdays starting May 6 from 10 to 11 a.m. and 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.\n\nParents of Infants: Wednesday, May 6\nParents of 1-Year-Olds: Wednesday, May 13\nParents of 2-Year-Olds: Wednesday, May 20\nParents of 3-Year-Olds: Wednesday, May 27\nParents of 4-Year-Olds: Wednesday, June 3\n\nClick here to register!
