Our family programs promote health and wellbeing. SVNH works to ensure that all children in South Vancouver have a healthy start in life. We offer a safe and welcoming environment to all families and provide programs and services that support children in reaching their full potential.
Our programs are designed to promote positive child development, support school readiness skills, introduce families to resources and supports in their community, and provide individual support and advocacy for families. Children and their caregivers are encouraged to engage in new activities, such as learning songs and rhymes, listening to stories, and playing interactive games, because we believe that children learn best through play.
