Four Seasons Early Years
Our Early Years Team uses Coast Salish teachings and a strength-based approach to support and guide parents with children ages 0 to 6 through difficult parenting challenges
Our 4 Seasons Early Years (4SEY) program enhances early childhood development and family health and wellness for preschool children ages 0-6.
We offer a variety of opportunities for families – from online playgroups, to parenting courses and one-on-on outreach to strengthen our family circles and encourage play, exploration and discovery using both a traditional and mainstream approach.
We use Coast Salish teachings, songs, stories and language as well as a strong foundation in child development to help our young families prepare their children for success.
