Early Years Centre @ Rockingstone Heights School

The Early Years Branch at the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development partners with school boards, community and families to create Early Years Centres across the province. The Early Years Centre model includes 3 core services, 1) A play-based early learning program for children in the year before entering school, 2) Family supports and resources, 3) Regulated child-care responsive to family needs. Early Years Centres are located in or near schools and are designed to fit the needs of the community they are in. The centre provides a space to bring together programs and services delivered to families of young children from prenatal to school entry. Family Supports and resources might include parenting supports, health services, and early identification and intervention programs.
