Speak to an EarlyON Resource Consultant!
نومبر 14, 2024
EarlyON Resource Consultants (ERCs) from EveryMind visit BridgeWay’s EarlyON centres to chat with you and answer any questions you might have about your child’s development. They can provide helpful information and strategies, and refer you to specialized resources if needed.
To connect with an ERC, ask a staff member to find out when they’ll be visiting the centre next or call the Child Development Supports Booking Line: 905-795-3527, x 3550.
Meet BridgeWay’s ERCs!
Hello Bridgeway families,
We are the EarlyON Resource Consultants from EveryMind. Our role is to work together with you, your family, and EarlyON staff to support with community resources, questions around child development, and more.
If you have questions about your child’s development, one of us can meet with you privately to discuss your child’s needs where you will be provided with information, strategies and may be referred to specialized resources, if needed.
If you would like to learn more about our role, speak with the EarlyON staff or come by and say hello!
We look forward to connecting with you,
