The Institute believes in inclusion and reducing barriers to participation. We want everyone to get involved with the Institute so there will be a free, educational and fun program offered to children of registered participants (4-day registration). The Program is designed for children ages 3-14 and is staffed by certified Early Childhood Educators of both official languages.
