Inclusion Programs
We create and maintain programs that support children’s full participation in play and learning as well as meet the range of characteristics and ever changing interests and capabilities of all children.
Our Inclusion Programs have been designed for families and caregivers with children from birth to 12 years of age. These free programs are interactive programs to support families with children of various developmental and/or extra support needs to interact in a safe and friendly environment. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to actively participate in play activities with support from our Inclusion Facilitator. Participants do not need to have a diagnosis in order to attend these programs.
