At the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB), we are proud to collaborate with EarlyON Child and Family Centres and other community partners to support young learners and their families. EarlyON provides a wealth of opportunities for children from birth to six years old, offering play-based programs that promote learning, development, and family engagement. These programs are designed to help both children and caregivers thrive in a welcoming and supportive environment. In this section, you will find information on how to register for EarlyON, the age groups supported, available programs, and how to get in touch with the right resources to help you navigate these valuable community services.

Families and caregivers will be able to find support, make personal connections and access a network of resources. |
