Registration

If you have previously registered your child for StrongStart, you do not need to re-register.

If you have not yet registered your child in StrongStart, registration is available online.

• Before you begin the process, please have your child’s birth certificate or passport available.
• Click the registration link above and fill in all the required spaces.
• Upload a scan or photo of your child’s birth certificate or passport.
• Click the Send button.

For those who prefer, paper copies will still be available. You can download the PDF Registration form here.  Please contact your school to submit a paper copy and required documents. Please remember a photocopy of your child’s birth certificate or passport is also required to register.

Have you moved? Has your child already been registered at a StrongStart Centre outside of Nanaimo-Ladysmith? Please contact your school.

January Booking Updates

In response to the high number of requests from families to attend StrongStart, please read the following updates that will start in January.

• Choose only 1 day a week to attend and attend only 1 StrongStart Centre.
• Please have only 1 adult attend to allow for more spaces for children during this time.

• If you are unable to attend on one of your days, due to illness or an emergency, you must call the school to let them know you are away.
• If you need to cancel your booking, email EarlyYears@sd68.bc.ca.
• A family that misses 2 bookings at the beginning of the month will be removed and the spots will be offered to the family next on the waitlist. Your school and/or StrongStart facilitator will contact you to confirm if you will be attending or not.
• Reminder: You do not need to re-register your child before booking.

*New* Waitlist: As StrongStart is in high demand, if you do not get a spot, you can now request to be added onto a waitlist after the monthly bookings have gone live. The waitlist will be used if a family cancels their monthly bookings and spots are opened.

Please email EarlyYears@sd68.bc.ca with the following information:

• name of adult and child
• school site
• day(s) of the week you are available to attend
• phone number
