Niagara Parent Resources and Counselling Services to Protect, Support and Strengthen The Lives of Children
Parenting can be both a joyful and a frustrating roller coaster ride! The support of other parents, community professionals and a variety of resources can provide relief and enrichment to the experience. If you are a parent or caregiver looking for opportunities to connect with others, we can help with that.
Family and Children’s Services offers a wide array of community programs and resources open to everyone in the community. Opportunities for arts and crafts, story time and valuable learning activities such as infant massage, school readiness, child care, developmental screening and more are available – usually at no or minimal cost, or a subsidized fee.
Ontario Early Years Programs – Are offered at a variety of locations including our main site at Central United Church in Welland and our satellite locations in Pelham and Grimsby. For parents, caregivers, and children from 0 to 6 years, our many resources include: prenatal support, hearing clinics, breast feeding support, play and learn programs and access to a variety of resources.
Our mobile program and Toy Lending Library visit a number of public locations throughout the Niagara region, bringing programming, toys and other resources right to your neighbourhood.
