Learn ways to encourage your child’s development
Discuss parenting and child development
Access other community resources and activities
For your child to:
Discover abilities
Learn new skills
Become more independent
Families play a vital role in every child’s development. During the period of early childhood, children develop at a rapid pace. Together with families, the consultants plan activities that best meet the child’s and family’s needs.
