DROP IN PLAY CENTRES
Central Algoma Community Action Program for Children/ EarlyON Child and Family Centre
The Community Action for Program for Children/ Early ON Child and Family Centre in Central Algoma offer children and families in the rural communities the opportunity to socialize while engaging in activities that stimulate healthy growth and development. Our outreach programs work together as part of the community to support families, and to prepare children for school and to reach their full potential. Our programs are community driven, universal, accessible, and focused primarily on meeting the needs of children and families. Parents also have access to resources and information about child development and a variety of parenting issues. Early years professionals assist parents in understanding their child’s development and through a coordinated access approach connect families with services they may need.
Programs are offered in partnership with local municipalities, schools and community agencies. The environment is set up to encourage active engagement, experimentation, exploration and social interaction. Curriculum is planned with goals for children’s learning and development based of the ages of the children, their emergent skills and interest, and is reflects the diversity of the families and communities served.
