Children and Parents Connecting (CAPC)

Children and Parents Connecting (CAPC) is a community-based partnership of parents, volunteers and service providers who believe: children are an important priority, and raising healthy children is a shared responsibility of the community. Children and Parents Connecting works to provide programs and services for children from birth to age 6 and their families. We focus our work through a prevention lens and strategically locate our programs in vulnerable neighbourhoods or where marginalized families can access our services easily. CAPC programs are funded by the Public Health Agency Canada. While every CAPC site is unique, they all share the Guiding Principles as their foundation: Children First Equity and Accessibility Community Based Strengthening and Supporting Families Flexibility Partnerships How We Help How We Help The first six years are the most important for a childs social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. Children and Parents Connecting is committed to supporting children who need it most, to help them reach their full potential. Through CAPC programs, children learn, play and have fun with other children in a supportive environment. Families learn about and connect with resources in their communities. Parents and caregivers form friendships, share resources and develop skills through CAPC programs. Communities are strengthened when neighbours work together.
