Aboriginal Head Start on Reserve (AHSOR) instills a supportive, caring, and nurturing learning environment for pre-school children. The goal of the program is to support early childhood learning activities that are designed and delivered by First Nations to meet the unique needs and priorities of their communities.

The FHQTC AHSOR program follows the Saskatchewan First Nations Child Care Policies and Regulations, and Health Canada’s First Nations Head Start Standards Guide. The program provides services to children and families within ten of our 11 member First Nations.

Our programming, delivered by early childhood educators, is based on a holistic model that encompasses the emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental health needs of children to inspire a lifelong love of learning. We promote culture and language through daily use of language, land-based learning and activities, and Elders through storytelling, visiting, language, and family activities.

Children ages 2-6 years who are potty trained can attend AHSOR, and children who are 0-2 years who are not potty trained can attend with their parents.
