Future 4 Nations Head Start is hosted by Mamele’awt Qweesome Housing in Mission. Our name refers to the four nations in our area: Stolo, Sta tlmx (Stat-lee-um), Cree, and Métis.
Future 4 Nations AHS is a licensed preschool centre providing services to a maximum of 20 children in each class. We run a morning and afternoon program, Monday to Thursday, and provide a nutritious meal for both classes.
Along with our regular staff, we have one part-time Cultural Worker and two Elders that work with the children about four days a month. In addition, we provide practicum experience for students enrolled in the ECE program.
We have a Parent Advisory Council that gives support, ideas and direction to the staff and we encourage involvement from all our families and caregivers. The children and families have opportunities to participate in a rich cultural environment with regular land-based activities and community gatherings.
