Supported Child Development Program
MACL’s Supported Child Development Program, works in partnership with the family and other professionals to support your child with developmental disabilities/delays or extra support needs to successfully participate in a community child care setting.
This includes:
• An individualized program for your child that respects your family, culture, and values;
• Training and resources for you and your child care provider;
• Promoting inclusion of children requiring additional support;
• Helping you access information and services you need for your child, including choosing a childcare option;
• Providing funding for childcare programs to hire additional staffing supports;
• Working with child care providers to develop strategies and resources to meet the needs of your child.
We work with the full range of child care settings – licensed; group care, family care, out-of-school care, preschool, in-own-home childcare and youth programs, as well as license-not-required child care (LNR.)

Eligibility
Parents may contact SCDP directly or children may be referred by any community professional (eg. Infant Development Consultants, Therapists, Public Health Nurses, Doctors, Social Workers, etc). As Mission has grown faster than our funding, we have a waitlists for service (intake, consultant support and additional staffing funding). MACL uses a waiting list priority tool to determine how services will be allocated. This tool considers various factors such as, date of referral, length of time on the waitlist, child’s age, family circumstances, child’s support needs and child care program capacity. A waitlist review takes place for each child on a quarterly basis.
