How can we help?

The Fort St. John Child Development Centre (CDC) has a collage of services and programs that we offer to children with special and typical needs and their families. We provide a family-centered approach, treating families with dignity and respect, while recognizing individual and cultural differences. Our team encourages and fully supports family participation in developing goals and programs for their children. The programs and services we offer are listed below; please click on program name to see a full description of the program and how to begin to access that service.
