Supported Child Development Program
The Supported Child Development (SCD) is a provincial program for children from birth to 12 who need extra help in licensed child care settings such as preschools, group child care, family child care, school-age child care.
How it support children and families:
- Once your child starts at a setting and the staff gets to know your child, we will meet with you and the staff to develop an individualized service plan
- This plan is to help your child learn new skills and participate in all the activities.
- We will observe your child and check on their progress. We offer strategies and are there to problem solve with the child care staff. Depending on the level of support your child requires, this program can provide funding to your child's setting to hire a support worker. This can help your child take part in the routines and activities throughout their day.
- Consultants are also available to assist with kindergarten transition and help you with referrals to other community programs and supports. If you are looking for a preschool or child care, contact the Child Care Resource and Referral Program at the Boys and Girls Club at 250- 542-3121 extension 111.
