Child care providers are entrusted with the important task of caring for our children. This requires information, many skills and much dedication. It also requires collaboration with parents and service agencies.
Parents, child care providers and the York Region Community and Health Services Department all have the same goal: to ensure that our children are well cared for in a safe and healthy environment.
Come Grow with Us provides two resources to assist child care providers in their role in achieving this goal.
- The Come Grow with Us manual, 2011 Edition
- The Come Grow with Us newsletter. The newsletter is produced 4 times per year and provides supplemental information to the manual
Notification of each new issue of the newsletter can be automatically received by inserting your email address in the Come Grow with Us Newsletter subscription box at the top of the page.
Please e-mail your questions or comments about the Come Grow with Us Manual or Newsletter to ComeGrowWithUs@york.ca
