EARLY YEARS HAND BOOK

The Inuuqatigiit Centre for Inuit Children, Youth and Families was established in August 2005 by parents of children enrolled in the Head Start Children’s Program at Tungasuvvingat Inuit (TI).

TI was the program sponsor from March 1997 to April 2006.

In April 2006, the sponsorship was transferred by the Public Health Agency of Canada to the Inuuqatigiit Centre for Inuit Children, Youth and Families. The program became the Sivummut Head Start with the aim of keeping  the parent-driven philosophy and mandate embedded in the Aboriginal Head Start’s (AHS) Principles and Guidelines (see AHS’s Six Components).

​

Today, we are a multi-service Inuit organization that provides cultural, educational, recreational and social support services to children, youth and families of Ottawa’s growing Inuit community. The centre serves as a major hub of early years and youth services for Inuit families in Ottawa.
