Wetaskiwin Early Years Coalition

Wetaskiwin Early Years Coalition Together, we have what it takes to build a community where all children thrive. Early years are critical years.

Every child is born brimming with potential. How this potential unfolds depends on the brain cell connections that are made, especially during the first three years of life. Children’s experiences during this critical period shape the brain in ways that impact lifelong learning, behaviour, health and quality of life. Getting a positive start is key to a successful future. It takes a community to raise happy, healthy children. Nurturing, stimulating environments spark the positive brain development that enables children to thrive and do well. Families, other caregivers and communities play a fundamental role in creating environments that promote healthy child development. Children who grow up in cohesive communities are likely to develop better and do better in life. Wetaskiwin Early Years Coalition is working hard to create a community where all children thrive.

Building Brains Together along with researchers from the University of Lethbridge have created a survey to learn how isolation is impacting parents. All responses are anonymous and confidential and will be used to help professionals understand the impacts that Covid-19 and the subsequent Public Health Measures are having on parents and families. Data from this survey will be used to inform social supports and services both for the remainder of the Covid-19 pandemic and in future emergency responses. Participants are invited to send us an email at [email protected] once you've completed the survey and we'll enter you into our draw for a $50 Superstore gift card.

Its teddy bear time! Let's have some fun!

HEY WETASKIWIN - Happy May!

To kick off the month, we want to do a CITY WIDE Teddy Bear Scavenger Hunt!

Over the weekend, find a teddy, hide it somewhere on your property (windows, flower beds, on top of mailboxes, patio furniture, etc...) - as long as it's visible! Then, throughout all of next week, take a nice walk and see how many teddies you can find!

** feel free to share this post, invite your friends, and have fun!
