The purpose of Healthy Beginnings is to provide a safe, welcome, supportive and educational opportunity for young children and their parents to get together on a regular basis. Parent and child activities focus on the physical, mental and emotional health and development of the children. Healthy Beginnings provides parents with an opportunity to share their parenting experience and one another. Parents supervise their own children while visiting with one another. There are no fees and the groups are open to all families of all cultures and race with children birth to six years of age. Groups are offered in Kamloops, Clinton, Cache Creek, Barriere, Ashcroft, Chase and Merritt. This program is offered in partnership with Interior Indian Friendship Society.
