EarlyON programs at the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC)
EarlyON Playgroups offer hands on, play-based activities that encourage exploration, curiosity and creativity, and promote healthy development. We focus on creating relationships that foster belonging, provide support for parents and caregivers and connect families to community services.
“The web of family and community is the child’s anchor for early development.”
Our program is centered around four foundations of learning and provides opportunities for children, and the adults in their lives to play, learn and connect.
Join us – Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Join EarlyON from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Thursday for Pops and Tots!
Pops and Tots is a program designed for children and the male caregivers in their lives; dads, grandpas, papas, cousins, and uncles. A place to engage with your child in fun activities, enjoy a pizza dinner, and connect with other ‘Pops.’
