Funded through a service agreement with the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), the Toddler Time Program is a parent/caregiver-involved, 3 days/week, drop in program that supports families with children ages 0-6. It is designed to create positive early childhood interactions that promote valuable socio-emotional learning experiences and community connection. This is accomplished through songs/music, storytelling, sharing (circle time), arts/crafts and various other methods.
The Toddler Time Coordinator reports directly to the Executive Director and maintains attendance and program statistics, in addition to preparing and submitting reports, as required. The program is broken down into 4.5 hours/week for program and 2 hours/week for prep. Each drop-in provides a light healthy snack for participants.
