Ready Set Learn
All families with children 3-5 years old are invited to a FREE Ready, Set, Learn event!
This is a family-orientated drop-in playtime where you and your child(ren) will take part in a variety of play-based activities and enjoy some pizza too.
You will receive a copy of the Let’s Play! Activities for Families developed by the Ministry of Education.
In BC, ‘Early Years’ now includes children from birth to 8 years of age. NLPS’ Early Years Team works with educators, childcare providers, and community partners to provide early learning opportunities for families and young children. Through partnerships, we strengthen the connection between home and school, including supporting the transition to Kindergarten. We strive to create early learning centres and programs that have welcoming and inclusive environments. We recognize that families are the child’s first teacher and know their child best. NLPS Early Years is guided by the First People Principles of Learning and the Principles of the BC Early Learning Framework.

Inclusion in NLPS
Inclusion is the belief that all students should, where possible, receive their education in age-appropriate regular classrooms in their neighbourhood schools. The school district, together with parents, determines the support(s) needed for successful inclusion.
Inclusion is a continuum of options designed to foster the feelings of belonging, acceptance and community.
