Aboriginal Headstart Program

The Zaagi-idiwin Aboriginal Head Start Program, located at the Abinoojii Gamig Childcare Centre in Fort Frances, Ontario, is a culturally specific school readiness initiative designed for Urban Indigenous families with children aged 2.5 to 5 years. Funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada and sponsored by the United Native Friendship Centre, the program aims to nurture the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of children through comprehensive educational and cultural activities.

With a focus on six core areas—education and school readiness, Aboriginal culture and language, health promotion and nutrition, parental involvement, and social support—the program creates a supportive environment for young children and their families. Applications for participation in the program can be submitted through various methods, ensuring accessibility for interested families.
