The YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg EAL program is a great place for newcomer women with young children to improve their English language skills

English classes are family-friendly, and newcomers learn the language they need to take care of their families.

Classes are three mornings a week. All classes include child minding for children 6 months - 5 years old. Child minding provides children with a chance to learn English and get ready to start school.

At the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg, the classroom topics include:

• Family health and safety
• Schools in Canada
• Shopping, banking and paying bills
• Newcomer services in Manitoba
 

There are two classes located at the downtown Winnipeg YMCA-YWCA. To join a class, you must go to WELARC and get a benchmark assessment. Click here for more information about WELARC.

 

The YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg EAL program provides on-site child minding for children 6 months to 5 years of age.  This service is free for newcomers taking English classes.
 

All child minding staff are qualified to work with children, have up-to-date first-aid training, and have had criminal record checks to ensure they are legally allowed to work with children.
