The Community Resource Centre is a "community benefit agency." Our vision is a community where everyone has a chance to succeed. Our Child Care and Ontario Early Years programs support families in helping their children reach their full potential while our Outreach and Support Services work with families most in need. Because the first six years of life are so important...". Our Child Care Program is professionally led by qualified Early Childhood Educators. The facilities are licensed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. Our goal is to provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for children aged 2 1/2 to 12 years old. Preschool programming is available Monday to Friday from 7a.m. to 6 p.m. at our Fergus sites, J.D. Hogarth School and St Joseph School.
For over 100 years, VON has pioneered health services in Canada. We have a proud tradition of often being the first to identify emerging health and social needs, and then providing innovative services that meet those needs. That's the way it's been since the founding of the Victorian Order of Nurses for Canada. In the Canada of the late 1890s, nurses, doctors and hospitals were desperately needed in remote areas and in rapidly growing towns and cities.
Since those early days, Kerrys Place Autism Services has grown to support over 6,000 individuals of all ages and their families with a broad continuum of specialized supports and services across South Western Ontario. It is through the extraordinary dedication and efforts of the individuals themselves, or family members, of staff, of volunteers and of advocates that we are able to find ways of helping individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder reach their highest potential. With the addition of community outreach services, we have been able to provide support and consultation to individuals with autism who live at home.
