Media Advisory: Minister to Mark Province-wide Distribution
of Early Childhood Learning Parent Resource Kits
The Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Education, will visit the MacMorran Community Centre in St. John’s tomorrow (Wednesday, August 14) at 11:00 a.m. to mark the province-wide distribution of parent resource kits for infants aged two months, four months and six months. The event will also mark the launch of a pilot project aimed at toddlers aged 12 months and 18 months.
 
Parent resource kits contain vital information to help parents ensure their child has the best possible start in life. Kits are being distributed to parents at key points in their child’s early development, as part of their regular child health clinic visits. The initiative is part of the Provincial Government’s early childhood learning strategy, Learning from the Start.
