Child Development Centre, Whitehorse, YT

The Child Development Centre was established in 1979 in a small trailer behind one of the local schools. In 1989, we moved to our current location and with some renovations, we have created a space where families can come and feel welcome. We now have over 35 dedicated staff in Whitehorse and the communities and see over 900 children a year. Our staff specialize in the areas of speech and language, play, social and emotional development, cognition, and fine and gross motor skills. We believe: families are the most important people in a child's life and that we are most effective when we work in partnership with the family; the development of young children is enhanced by providing services as early as possible; that by working in partnership with other community members we can build a better community for children and families; and in a bright future full of hopes and dreams for every child. Our Vision To support children and families to believe in themselves and achieve their potential. Together we can reach the stars.
