Seeds & Sprouts
May, 2019 - Rayan
Rayan was involved in our Story Seeds & Sprouts program which was funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation.
Rayan’s mom: ”I have to share this with you. Rayan had an evaluation today at his school for SK next year. They were concerned about his level since he wasn’t at school this year like the other kids his age. So in the assessment they grabbed a random book for him and he started to read!! It was a book he’s never seen before and the sentences were fairly longer than what he’s used to but he was reading!! They were surprised and very impressed with him that he was reading at a higher level than his peers. I almost cried, and immediately remembered you and all the help and guidance you gave us. Thank you for everything.”

“Thanks a lot everyone. This program was very helpful for us and our children! They learned a lot, specially sounds of the wild animals. We are very thankful to Jane and the team to arrange such a wonderful Tea Party with story and songs.
The Polycultural Immigrant and Community Services is very thankful.”

Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart!”

“Me and my son enjoyed the program a lot. It was such a wonderful experience for both of us. The program encouraged me to go to the library more frequently to bring books for him. I started to write words for him so he can get familiar with them and we make it a game! Thanks a lot.”
