Ready, Set, Learn

Each year families and their three- to five-year-olds are invited to their neighbourhood school to attend a fun-filled Ready, Set, Learn event, where they can meet school staff and a variety of community service providers. Ready, Set, Learn is about providing information about how to support a young child’s early learning and development. This is an invitation for all three- to five year-olds to come and play!

The Ministry of Education supports Ready, Set, Learn throughout the province, in collaboration with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and the Ministry of Health.

All parents/guardians and their three to five year-old children are invited to attend New Westminster School District’s Ready, Set, Learn events, to take part in play based activities while learning about our programs and services and connecting with community partners.  Come out for our fun-filled event and meet our district staff, teachers and administrators who will help you prepare for Kindergarten.

Ready Set Learn 2024 is here!

Children ages 3 to 5 years and their parent/guardian/caregiver within the New Westminster Schools’ community are invited to attend one of the district’s Ready, Set, Learn events this spring! Under the theme of: Come Play with Us! Ready Set Learn is designed to foster positive connections among families, schools, and early learning community partners. Facilitated by early childhood educators , the events will involve a variety of stations focused on learning through literacy and play that align with the Ministry of Education and Child Care’s BC Early Learning Framework.
