Birth to Age 6
The quality of nurturing and attention children receive through early childhood is the most important contributor to their success in learning and as adults. Research has shown early intervention can be key to improving social, language, motor and academic skills. Ministry of Children and Family Development services for children under the age of six are intended to help promote development and lifelong learning and health. Detailed information on these services is available by clicking on the links below.
