About this service
The process of settlement can be traumatic and parents themselves may not feel safe, secure and confident in their new community. It is therefore crucial that any support nurtures the parents sense of self-efficacy and confidence, and reduces their isolation in order to support the early development of their children. Our play-based, trauma-informed approach led by qualified staff follows best practices in the field, with the goal of helping children become ready for school in Canada.
Our Family Programs are safe and warm places for everyone to learn and grow through play, art, science, songs, and stories. They provide a chance for mothers, grandmothers, aunts and family caretakers to learn along with their young children and to find out more about the Canadian approach.
Who can use it?
Immigrant and refugee women and children
