Preschool Day Program

​The Preschool Day Program provides specialized early childhood mental health care in a small classroom setting.

What happens in this program?

The family and care team work together to support the child’s social, emotional, academic and physical development. The program works to strengthen the family’s ability to support their child by promoting parent confidence.

Children attend the program two full days a week during the school year.

Who is this program for?

The program is for children ages four and five who are experiencing severe challenges managing their emotions and behaviour. They may also have difficulties in development, executive functioning or learning.

​How do I access this program?

Referrals can be made by a mental health professional (such as a physician, therapist, psychologist or occupational therapist) with additional input from school staff. The child must have a pediatrician or family physician.
