Over the last year, Niagara Region Children’s Services has been working with the Ministry of Education and local early years sector service providers who have provided valuable input, feedback, and recommendations to inform the needs assessment. This has allowed Niagara Region Children’s Services to develop a local Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres (OEYCFC) plan to prepare and support local service planning with the goal of improving service system integration and maximize available resources to build a high quality, seamless and accessible early years system for children and their families. This document outlines the local needs assessment undertaken over the past year, the results of extensive community consultation, and finally the local initial OEYCFC plan that will inform the next phases as Niagara moves forward with the transformation of child and family centres
