Southshore Resource Centres

For Families and Children

The Southshore Outreach Resource Centres are drop in centres offering programs for families with children from ages 0 – 6 years.

Our centres help to support families by offering chances for children to socialize with other children, and gives parents the opportunity to meet other families.  Our playgroups are set up with areas to provide an opportunity for your child to paint, use play dough, build with blocks, imaginary and dress up play and have fun. Each playgroup consists of playtime, singing songs and sharing at Circle Time, and a healthy snack.
 
Please refer to our monthly newsletters for a schedule of events and times.
