- To support children to continue to participate actively in settings within their community.
- To work together with centre staff to increase our understanding of the program and/or a particular child/ren in order to develop strategies which foster the strength and capacity of the program as well as enhancing the children’s overall growth and emotional health.
- To work in partnership with the Vancouver Aboriginal Child Development Program, as well as the Vancouver and Richmond Supported Child Development Programs, as well as other professionals supporting childcare programs.
