Kids on the Block

	CORE Association has obtained a license for a unique educational tool known as The Kids on the Block to teach young people of Medicine Hat about a variety of social topics.

		The goal for the CORE - Kids on the Block puppet troupe is for people with disabilities to have valued roles in the education of children within the community. By partnering with other local agencies, we provide educational programs to children about safety, social issues, disability awareness, and medical and educational differences. Our puppeteers, volunteers and service delivery staff, coordinate and deliver the programs geared toward the vision and mission of various local agencies.
	Current CORE - Kids on the Block educational programs include: Safety on the Go – Auto, bus, recreational wheels and pedestrian safety Sun, Heat and Water Safety Bullies and School Safety Multiculturalism Autism Down syndrome
