Caregiver - Mediated Early Years (C-MEY) programs support families with young children ages 12 months to 48 months (4years). This 3-6 month program uses a play-based, "caregiver-mediated" approach so that young children can learn new skills and meet individual goals. Programs are free of charge and available for up to six months per child. Eligible children will receive a letter from the Ministry inviting them to this program.

Following the group-based program, children receive transition supports as they enter school and families and educators can access consultation services during the child's first six months in school.
