At KW Habilitation, we work to ensure that children have the opportunity to thrive in nurturing and inclusive early learning spaces. And with that, our Early Learning, Child Care, and Family Resources team provides support to more than 12,000 children licensed child care programs across Waterloo Region every year!
But we’re not stopping there. We’ve expanded our reach to support even more families and early learning professionals.
New Support at EarlyON Centres
In late 2024, our Resource Consultants started visiting EarlyON centres throughout the region of Waterloo, offering valuable knowledge and hands-on strategies to support early childhood educators and caregivers. These visits have provided families and educators with direct access to resources, guidance, and support—especially when there are concerns about a child’s development. By bringing the expertise from our team into new spaces, we’re making it easier for families and educators to get the support they need, when they need it.
Strengthening Inclusive Early Learning
Our commitment to inclusive early learning means we continue to work closely with child care providers, educators, and families to create environments where all children can thrive. Whether it’s offering strategies to support social-emotional development, sharing inclusive classroom practices, or helping educators respond to unique needs, we’re here to empower and equip our community.
Why This Matters
By expanding our services beyond licensed child care settings, we’re reaching more families, educators, and children than ever before. When we support the caring adults in a child’s life, we support the child’s success. Our goal is to make high-quality early learning support accessible, proactive, and responsive to the needs of our growing community.
We’re excited about the connection we’ve made with our local EarlyON centres—and we look forward to continuing to be part of building a stronger, and more inclusive early learning system across Waterloo Region.
