East Kootenay Supported Child Development Program promotes and facilitates inclusion in childcare programs for all children throughout the East Kootenay, in collaboration with families, childcare providers and community partners.

Services are for children aged 0 to 12 who attend a licensed or regulated childcare program, have an identified developmental disability/delay, and require additional support to meet their individual needs to participate fully. Priority is given to children ages 0 to 5.
