The CAFA Playschool
was established in 1996, in cooperation with Sahar
Chehimi. The original mandate was geared towards
promoting the Arab culture and language to three to five
year old children. That directive was changed within
one year to include a number of important areas of
family wellness.
Currently, and funded
in part by FCSS, this government licensed program
assists up to 44 - three to five year old children per
session. It is primarily geared to assisting children
in the successful integration into the school system.
This is done through a number of leaning- through-fun
programs that teach the English language, the heritage
Arabic language as well as, classroom edict, nutrition
etc.
This program also
assists families in gaining the tools in order to make
positive life decisions by introducing them to the
services available to families: CAFA Family and Early
Childhood Development Program is |
