The Children's Services Division supports the inclusion of children with special needs under 13 years of age in licensed child care, camps and recreation, and EarlyON programs through its Resource Consultant Program.
The Resource Consultant Program supports educator capacity to address the needs of all children and foster inclusive practices so that all are able to actively and meaningfully participate in programs.
Approaches are delivered in alignment with the Ontario’s pedagogy for the early years, How Does Learning Happen?, which articulates a strength-based view of children, families and educators supported by four foundations that are essential for all children to grow and flourish: Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement, and Expression.
