West Gate EarlyON Centre
Here at West Gate we are fortunate to have an EarlyON Child and Family Centres (CFC) which offers free high-quality programming for parents and caregivers with children ages birth to 6 years old. Centres are located throughout Windsor-Essex County and include virtual programming options. All programming aims to foster a sense of belonging, well-being, engagement and expression while meeting the following core services:
- Supporting early learning and development by offering programming to encourage children’s learning through play, and to build positive child adult relationships;
- Engaging parents and caregivers through information sharing about child development, parenting, play, and inquiry based learning;
- Offering pre and post natal support;
- Connecting families to the community by responding to parents and caregivers inquiring about their child’s development. This can include offering screening, making referrals to health professionals or other specialized community services.
