Celebrate National Child's Day!
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out the rights of children with 54 articles that provide us with a solid road map of what is needed to raise healthy and happy children and youth.
This year’s theme is the right to participate. A child’s right to participate is a main pillar to achieving self-actualization. Children have the right to participate in activities such as play, family, culture, and learning. They also have the right to participate when decisions are made about them. Empowering young people from all backgrounds to participate in decision-making and activities helps grow their voice and confidence.
"I am very impressed with the support given to my son, a child with special developmental needs. As a mother I am grateful for their commitment to helping them be prepared for school and be able to interact more naturally with his peers. "

"Our family is so happy to have the girls (age 1 and 3) at CFC. The staff care so much about the kids, and it shows! The variety of programming, the reliability and quality of service, the rich learning environment, the opportunities for field trips, and the time spent with community Elders: these are a few of the reasons why CFC is so fantastic, and why the care there is so exceptional."
