Jack & Jill Child Care Centre

Family-centred services respect the central role that families play in the lives of their children. The philosophies, attitudes, and approaches to care for children support each family’s uniqueness and strive to match services to needs. There is no one choice or approach that is right for all families. Family-centred service delivery acknowledges and respects family diversity.

Every family is unique. At the same time, families share common wishes for their children. Understanding and respecting the uniqueness, as well as the similarities of families, is stressed in literature and practices of quality child care. For families of children with special needs, this is particularly important. They deal with stresses, time commitments, and inter-professional relationships that are beyond the experience of most families.
