What We Offer
Kids learn a lot through play. They reach important growth milestones when they play! But as grown-ups, it can be tough to know how to play. Come learn with your kids from our early years educator. We have fun activities with toys, songs and stories, and a craft or activity. There is also free play time, and everyone gets a snack to take home! Programs are hosted outdoors in the summer months.
- It’s a free drop-in program from September to June.
- It’s from 9:30 am to 11:30 am on these days:
- On Mondays, we’re in Sparwood at the Rec Centre in the Community Hall (above the rink).
- On Tuesdays, we’re in Fernie at the Fernie Family Centre.
- On Wednesdays, we’re in Elkford at the Elkford Alliance Church (in the basement).

I feel very grateful to be able to take on the role of the Early Years Coordinator. As a mom of three the community connection and support were so important to me when my kids were small. I am excited that I can once again be a part of these programs throughout the Elk Valley! I’m a big fan of skiing with my family, taking my dog Reeva for walks and cheering on my kids at the hockey rink or volleyball court.
