Our Mission
The Coalition for Far Northwest Alberta Brighter Futures Society is to provide early intervention and a fair start in life to children 3.5 - 5 years of age as well as provide support to their families. We believe that through partnership each child can reach their potential in a supportive environment that is always evolving to meet the changes and needs of our society. We also believe that all children deserve a good start in life and that some families require extra assistance in maximizing the health and well-being of their children.
Goals
1. Improve parental knowledge and ability of parents; stressing that parents are indeed the most important teachers that a child will ever have.
2. Assist children experiencing risk to develop skills and gain self-esteem.
3. Promote school-readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive development of children in our society.
4. Enable families to maximize their children's growth and development.
Objectives
1. Provide opportunities for parenting workshops and special learning opportunities.
2. Provide preventive early intervention strategies for children experiencing risk through special programs.
3. Support families through peer support programs and other community self-support groups.
4. Provide community education on issues relating to early childhood development.
