What's New For Families?
Best Start is a provincial initiative for the purpose of strengthening partnerships and enhancing the integration of all community supports for children and their families. Its purpose is to introduce a new way of thinking and develop an understanding within our communities to work together so that every child has the opportunity to learn and develop to their full potential. Every organization, program or business that services families with children birth to 6 years of age can play a significant role in making this happen. Through knowledge of available research and resources, we are able to advocate to city wide programs and services for the delivery of needed programs in our community. In early February 2009, The Family Centre was chosen to become the South March Best Start hub. This means that we have a vision for the future which includes bringing existing programs and services into this community. The Best Start initiative relies on the volunteer work of many dedicated child advocates and does not include any funding, however; we believe that we are building strong and lasting partnerships for years to come.

Start Tip
To
increase your child's vocabulary, describe
everything you see and repeat your sentences but
add in descriptive words. For example, say
to your child when you are out for a walk, "Look
at all the snow! The snow is white and
fluffy. The white, fluffy snow is cold!"
The more descriptive language that you use, the
more adjectives your child will know and will be
able to use when writing short stories at
school.
