Families in Martensville and Warman will have plenty of opportunities to connect, learn, and play this April as the Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre rolls out a full calendar of programming designed to support early childhood development and caregiver connection.
Throughout the month, the centre will offer a wide range of programs tailored to children from newborn to age five, along with supportive resources for parents and caregivers. Regular favourites like Bonding through Play continue to provide a welcoming space for families to gather, while a variety of specialized programs bring added learning and engagement.
Among the returning programs is Foundations Learning: Learn & Soar, running April 1, 8, and 15. Designed for children aged three to five and their caregivers, the program focuses on literacy through activities, rhymes, and storytelling, while also offering a parent session following each class. Younger children can benefit from Tummy Explorers on April 7, 14, and 21, which supports physical development for infants through guided activities and expert input from professionals such as nutritionists and physiotherapists.
Toddlers will have the chance to build communication skills during Lil’ Communicators on April 6 and 20, while older preschoolers can take part in Practical Life Skills and Lil’ Scientists, offering hands-on learning experiences that build confidence and curiosity.
The centre also continues to support family wellness through programs like Sip & Chat, held multiple times throughout the month. These sessions provide a relaxed environment for caregivers to connect while accessing guidance from visiting professionals, including a dietitian, lactation consultant, physiotherapist, and occupational therapist.
April also features a number of special events and one-day programs. Families can take part in Crafty Afty on April 13, explore hands-on fun during Water Sensory Play on April 15, or contribute to a collaborative Family Art Piece on April 16 in partnership with the Warman Arts Centre. A Culture Day on April 21 will provide opportunities to learn about and celebrate the diverse cultures within the community.
Health and wellness remain a focus with an Immunization Clinic scheduled for April 9, offering walk-in services for children aged 0–5. Additional programming includes Yoga for Kids on April 22, supporting both physical and emotional development, and Lil’ Readers on April 23, encouraging early literacy through storytime and crafts.
Families looking to refresh their children’s wardrobes can take advantage of the centre’s Clothing Swap on April 27, while local childcare providers are invited to participate in a Dayhome Drop-In on April 28.
While the centre will be closed on select dates, including April 2 for changeover and April 3 for Good Friday, the overall schedule reflects a strong commitment to supporting young families through accessible, inclusive, and engaging programming.
With a mix of educational opportunities, social connection, and family-focused events, the Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre continues to be a valuable hub for early years development in the region.
