EarlyON ON y va Child and Family Centres
EarlyON ON y va Child and Family Centres are intended to support children 0-6, and their parents and caregivers in learning, growing and connecting – together.
They provide free programming in English, French and Indigenous culture that reflect the view of the children, parents, caregivers and educators as competent, capable, curious and rich in potential and experience.
Guided by How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years, 2014 (HDLH), EarlyON ON y va Child and Family Centres provide an environment that engage parents and caregivers as co-learners and leaders in influencing positive experiences and outcomes for children, families and the community.
EarlyON ON y va collectively work in Timiskaming as a Collaborative with Centre pour enfants Timiskaming Child Care, Keepers of the Circle and Centre de santé communautaire du Temiskaming. Through this collaborative, they share in common the objective of creating child-focused and family-oriented programming that is both culturally proficient and meets the standards of excellence established in How Does Learning Happen? and Journey Together.
The EarlyON ON y va Collaborative believes that parents/caregivers should be involved in planning of EarlyON ON y va programs and services and has established Parent/Caregiver Councils and Circle for Francophone, Indigenous, and English-speaking parents and caregivers. The Councils and Circle, together with staff, will help ensure that families living throughout the District know about EarlyON ON y va and have a say in EarlyON ON y va programming.
