They are great ways to spend time with your child and help them develop.

Workshops
Stay tuned for upcoming workshops!

Transportation

EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer many opportunities for parents, children and caregivers to meet new friends, learn skills and have fun. But sometimes getting to a program can be a challenge. If you have difficulty getting to any EarlyON program, please contact Pam Rennie, Manager of Early Years Programs at 705-645-2412, ext. 4420. We may be able to provide a ride for you and your family.

Volunteering

EarlyON Child and Family Centres are where communities and friendships are built and we are always looking for volunteers for the EarlyON programs to help build our communities. Volunteers help with soup days, driving families to programs, repairing toys, and more. If you have some time to share, please contact Pam Rennie, Manager of Early Years Programs at 705-645-2412 ext. 4420.
EarlyON Program Principles

As part of this transformation, service system managers are expected to incorporate the following principles into the development, delivery and evaluation of EarlyON programs. As such, EarlyON Child and Family Centres must:

  • meet the needs of parents, caregivers and young children by supporting their developmental health and general well-being;
  • provide a warm and welcoming environment based on the foundational conditions for supporting growth and long-term success (belonging, well-being, engagement and expression);
  • foster positive outcomes and support nurturing relationships for children, parents and caregivers based on the latest evidence and research;
  • embrace inclusivity and be accessible and responsive to children, parents and caregivers with varying abilities and cultural, language, socio-economic, sexual orientation and religious backgrounds;
  • be developed and delivered cohesively, in collaboration with community partners, parents and caregivers; and
  • as part of their design, incorporate guidance received in consultation with communities, educators, parents and caregivers that further develop strengths and fill any identified gaps.
