Parent Resources

Parenting can be both a joyful and a frustrating roller coaster ride! The support of other parents, community professionals and a variety of resources can provide relief and enrichment to the experience. If you are a parent or caregiver looking for opportunities to connect with others, we can help with that.

Family and Children’s Services offers a wide array of community programs and resources open to everyone in the community. Opportunities for arts and crafts, story time and valuable learning activities such as infant massage, school readiness, child care, developmental screening and more are available – usually at no or minimal cost, or a subsidized fee.

Child Care

Family and Children’s Services offers two child care centres in St. Catharines. Full and half day programs are available, as well as before and after school programs. We offer quality child care with an emphasis on fun and educational activities, and healthy child development. Referrals can be made by parents and other professionals, and a subsidy may be available through the Regional Municipality of Niagara.
