About Family Centres
Family Centres were developed by the Family-Centred Service System (a priority of the Child and Youth Network) to make it easier for London’s children, youth, and families to participate fully in their community, and to find and receive the services they want and need.
Through Family Centres and their on-site Community Connectors, families can access information, a range of free or low-cost activities, events, and programs, and also get connected to local resources and services that can help make their lives easier.
Families can get connected with information, programs, and services related to:
parenting and early learning
education, early childhood education and child care
public health and wellness
recreation, sports, and leisure
If specific programs or services are not offered on-site, Community Connectors and the team within Family Centres will make referrals and connections to meet a family’s interests or needs.
EarlyON Programs
EarlyON programs are an initiative of the provincial government and offer free information, programming and support for families, including activities that support language revitalization and a strong sense of identity for Indigenous children.
EarlyON programs and services can include:
playgroups with crafts, music and stories
programs to introduce children to math, science, and reading
parenting workshops and information on children’s development, behaviour, safety, and nutrition
While our programs are Indigenous-led with an Indigenous focus, non-Indigenous families are more than welcome to join us.
