Children are always warmly welcomed at Sylvan, and an important part of our community. We pause formal Sunday School in the summer, but will begin again after Labour Day. We strive to have activity kits and often there is someone happy to spend some time with the children who are willing, outside in the beautiful gardens, exploring God's world.
We are thrilled to welcome families back in to our space for our tot music program.
All are welcome to join us for this drop in program on Fridays at 11:00, including SD 79 pro-d days.
This program is tailored towards children aged 0-5 and their adults but older siblings are always welcome.
Admission is by a suggested $2.00 donation.
