What is Family Engagement?

You are the expert on your child...

Family engagement recognizes that families are essential to the successful outcome of their children’s plan of care and ensures that caregivers are welcome partners in the planning and delivery of Lansdowne Children’s Centre services.

 

Lansdowne Children’s Centre is committed to creating more opportunities for families to partner with service providers and each other, to contribute their perspective, advice, passion and talent, and share the knowledge that comes from their lived experience. We need to enhance programs already in place and establish a broad range of family supports to help inspire and empower families meet the day-to-day challenges they face.

Access FREE resources online

Connect with streaming videos, printable tip sheets and home-based activities based on proven universal strategies to help your child's development. PLUS, connect with community-based resources and services.
