Programs

At Semiahmoo Family Place, we offer a range of inclusive programs that support the well-being of families through educational, social, and wellness activities. Our core programs include Family Place and Baby Place, along with regularly scheduled sessions for dance, exercise, and arts and crafts. Special visits from nurses, librarians, dentists, and Nelson the Music Man help connect families with important community resources while building connection, resilience, and a strong sense of community for all ages.

All programs, while supervised by facilitators, are parent-participation.

Everyone is welcome to drop in at any day, and any time. For the vast majority of our programs, no pre-registration necessary. You can register with us at your first drop-in.

We wholeheartedly welcome and embrace participants from a rich tapestry of backgrounds, encompassing, but not confined to, distinctions in race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, ability, and life experiences. We believe in the strength of our collective diversity and are committed to fostering an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and included.
