Just B4 Program Launches at Halfmoon Bay Elementary
School District 46 is pleased to announce the opening of the Just B4 early childhood education Child Care Program.
This program is specifically designed for 4-year old children to attend ‘Just B4’ Kindergarten, with the hope of inspiring and supporting the creation or rich, joyful early childhood spaces.
This program provides an opportunity to strengthen early years to Kindergarten transitions for young children and their families.
Just B4 utilizes the StrongStart BC space in the afternoon, with the same StrongStart Educator who leads the StrongStart BC program in the morning. Parents pre-register for the Just B4 afternoon program and choose the days of the week they would like their children to attend. Just B4 is a licensed pre-school program and therefore parents do not need to attend.
This program is offered for $10 a day. Families may qualify for child care subsidies through the Ministry of Children & Family Development. In addition, we gratefully acknowledge the financial contribution of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Education. This program is the third of its kind to open in the province and is intended to pilot a promising practice for strengthening early years to kindergarten transitions.
Interested families can contact our Early Years registration desk at rwatson@sd46.bc.ca to express interest and request the registration package. Any questions can be sent to Kirsten Deasey, District Principal of Learning & Innovation at kdeasey@sd46.bc.ca
