Supported Child Development

Helps families of children and youth from birth to age 18 with developmental delays or disabilities to access inclusive child care. The program partners with community licensed child care programs to offer a range of options for Richmond families whose children require additional supports to attend preschool, day care, and out-of-school care. Parents may self-refer or referrals (with parent signature of consent) may come from community professionals such as infant development consultants, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, doctors, psychologists, public health nurses, and social workers.
