Stepping Stone
The main goal of the Stepping Stone Program is to provide services that optimize inclusion practices for all children in licensed Early Learning along with Child Care (ELCC) programs, approved recreation programs in the West Nipissing area in, both French and English.
Resource Consultants provide direct support to all children by working with educators to identify and implement best practices/strategies for inclusion and developmentally appropriate practice for all children while providing consistency in the delivery of services.
For children who have a delay in areas of development need special care: Stepping Stone provides a service encouraging independence, self-esteem and problem solving skills.
An important part of this service is giving parents the support they need. We promote the involvement of the family with the child as this can enrich the learning experience.
Our staff is qualified to help with special children and their families. Being gentle in dealing with relationships within the family is our priority.
