Program Spotlight

Speak to an EarlyON Resource Consultant!

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.

Dim The Lights

You and your child can explore a space with reduced sensory stimulation during Dim the Lights!

In this program, we keep the centre or program room as quiet as possible by playing calming music (or no music at all), removing loud toys, and singing softly during circle time. Lights are dimmed, less materials are out and fidget toys are available. Children who are often overwhelmed by lots of noise and lights, who take time to adjust to a new space, or just want a quiet place to play may especially enjoy this program.
