We’re set up and ready to help at the CDC this morning!

Our FREE Car Seat Clinic is happening today from 9:00 AM–1:00 PM, and drop-ins are welcome.

Bring your child’s car seat and get hands-on support with installation, checking the fit and harness, reviewing proper use and maintenance, and answering questions as your child grows.

Our team members supporting the clinic have completed the BCAA Child Passenger Safety Educator II course, so you’ll have knowledgeable support as you learn how to install and use your child’s seat correctly.

Big feelings can be hard to put into words — especially when you’re 5–7.

A Little Spot is a 5-week small group at the CDC that uses Diane Alber’s A Little Spot program to help kids ages 5–7 understand what they’re feeling and build practical strategies for managing those feelings.

Through fun, age-appropriate activities, children will explore anxiety, anger, sadness, happiness, confidence, love, peaceful feelings and those mixed-up “scribble” moments — while building the language to talk about them.

Wednesdays | October 28–November 25
3:30–4:30 PM

Interested in A Little Spot? Scan the QR code on the poster or visit https://www.ccchild.org/family-programs to complete the Family Programs Interest Form and get started. Our team will follow up with availability and next steps.

Can’t make these dates or times work? Fill out the interest form anyway. Joining the interest list helps us plan future groups and gives our team a way to let you know about upcoming opportunities.

Starting solids is a big milestone — and it can come with a lot of questions.

When is your baby ready? Where do you start? What about purées versus finger foods?

Our Starting Solids workshop gives caregivers practical information to help make that next stage feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more manageable. Babies are welcome to come along, too.

Join us for this 2-hour workshop and learn more about introducing solid foods.

Thursday, October 8 | 9:30–11:30 AM
For caregivers of children ages 0–1
Babies welcome

Tuesday, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre will be closed for the day as we join people across Canada in honouring Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities, and remembering the children who never came home.

September 30 is a time for reflection and learning, and for continuing the work of reconciliation — not only on this day, but throughout the year.

The CDC will reopen for regular operations on Wednesday, October 1.
