Program Information
The Aboriginal Head Start On Reserve (AHSOR) Program provides early childhood/preschool intervention that supports the development of the physical, intellectual, social, spiritual and emotional well-being of First Nations children. The Program is designed for children from birth to 6 years of age, and their families living in the community of Sagkeeng.
AHSOR Programming is centered around six components: education; health promotion; culture and language; nutrition; social support; and parental/family involvement.
Children in the Sagkeeng Health Centre's AHSOR Program gain opportunities to develop self-confidence, a greater desire for learning, and an excellent start in their journey towards becoming successful people.
Parents, guardians and other family members are the most important teachers in a child's life. The Aboriginal Head Start On Reserve Program knows this and provides support. It helps parents and other caregivers learn and improve skills that contribute to healthy child development. It also works with families to help strengthen family relationships.
AHSOR programming encourages parents, families and community members to play an important role in running the Program. The Program also builds relationships with other community programs and services so that children get the best care.
Location, Hours, and Contact Information
The Sagkeeng Health Centre's AHSOR program is currently located behind the Sagkeeng Health Centre's main building. The Program runs from Monday to Thursday from September to June following the holiday schedule of Sagkeeng's schools.
