About this service
The Early Childhood program consists of two streams of programming: Hummingbirds and Story Box. Both are open to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children, parents, grandparents, foster parents, and other caregivers. Hummingbirds meets at Wachiay on Monday mornings at 10:00 a.m. There are games, age-appropriate toys, healthy snacks and story-telling with Aboriginal Elders. The Story Box program is offered in district schools and includes a live presentation of a local legend told by K'omox Elder Mary Everson. Included in Story Box is an animated storyboard with felt characters represented in the story, and the background setting for the story. Everyone is welcome!
