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

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
