Moncton Headstart - Every Child Deserves a Headstart

All Kids Deserve a Headstart

We care about children and families.

Moncton Headstart Inc. is a registered Canadian charity that provides evidence-based, trauma informed high quality, early child and family intervention services to support vulnerable, at-risk children and their families: by referral only.

Headstart provides families with a community of caring. We give parents the tools to become more confident and successful in their parenting so they can build a better life for their children and themselves.

In order to make sure that children truly in need receive a warm coat this winter, we must ask that you bring several pieces of ID with you when you arrive to pick up coats. You’ll need proof of NB address (driver’s license, lease, and/or utility bill), documentation proving your child’s date of birth (birth certificate, NB medicare card), plus proof of income (child tax benefit, GST Notice or proof of NB Social Assistance).

Coats for Kids is now closed.

Toyland provides toys for Christmas to children in need in the Greater Moncton area.

Toyland is now closed for 2022.

Over 1500 children received gifts from our kind and generous community this year because of you!

Thank you to everyone who donated, dropped off toys or volunteered. We couldn’t do it without you.
