Description

Description (Service) Growing Together is a free program that encourages children to reach their full potential. We help parents and guardians support children that have special, unique or developmental needs.

Under Ontario, Regulation 138/15, a child with special needs means a child whose cognitive, physical, social, emotional, or communicative needs, or whose needs relating to overall development, are of such a nature that additional supports are required for the child.

Growing Together:
  • Helps children at an early age of development
  • Offers free family-centred services through Early Learning Resource Consultants
  • Has resources that may identify possible delays in child development
  • Creates individualized plans with parents and guardians for early learning needs
  • Assists families in coordinating services with other professionals
  • Supports families and educators in licensed childcare settings and EarlyON programs
  • Promotes inclusive environments for all children in early learning and care settings
  • Supports children transitioning to school or other community programs
  • Helps in before and after school programs or recreational summer programs
  • And more
