The Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre (MWEYFRC) is partnered with the Prairie Spirit School Division and is operated by YMCA Saskatoon.
It offers free programming, services and professional resources for all families with young children, prenatal to age five.
The program began in April of this year and is currently located in Warman High School at 201 Central Street but will be moving to its permanent location in Martensville at 7 Centennial Drive, where the old Credit Union Bank was located. Updates will be provided on their FB page as to when the new location will be open.
“The Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre provides programming, services, and resources to families with children aged 0-5 at no cost. This is a space where families can connect to one another, learn about early childhood development as well as parenting, and play alongside their children,” stated Emiley Martens, Coordinator of the Martensville-Warman Early Years Family Resource Centre.
“Currently our staffing model right now is a Coordinator, Program Designer and two facilitators. We are hoping to expand to more facilitators.”
“We provide services from outside professionals such as Occupational Therapy, movement classes, Foundations Learning, Navera Community Connections and much more. MWEYFRC aims to provide families with positive early learning experiences as well as opportunities to connect, grow and learn together in aninviting, safe and supportive setting. We focus on four pillars; Early Learning, Parenting Education, Family Wellness, and Information & Referrals.”
