Extra support for children’s developmental needs. Family-centered services from birth to 19 to maximize participation and learning. Contact us if your child requires additional assistance to thrive in childcare.
Child Development Assistance
Seabird Island’s Supported Child Development program provides inclusive support services for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children from birth to 19 who require extra assistance due to developmental, physical, intellectual, social, or emotional needs.
We work collaboratively with families and childcare providers to empower meaningful decision-making and maximize each child’s participation and learning. Services are family-centered, respectful of individual needs, and aim to help children meet their full potential.
If you have any concerns about your child’s development and need extra support for them to thrive in childcare, please get in touch. We believe every child deserves equal opportunities tailored to their unique gifts and challenges. Let us walk this path together.
