Make Children First

The Make Children First Learning Initiative brings the community together to enhance our ability to support the healthy development of children and their families. We promote diversity and the equal rights of all children and families. Our program serves the communities of the Hazeltons, Moricetown, Smithers, Telkwa and Houston.

The goal of Make Children First is to bring service providers, parents, business, government and community citizens together to learn about the strengths, needs, and characteristics of their community, and how to work together to provide better services for all children and families. We expect that our experience will result in heightened community awareness and involvement, more opportunities for early identification and screening of children’s needs, and improved access to services for families.

The Initiative is funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development and is built upon the strengths and commitment of a broad range of organizations and individuals in our community including:

• 1- MCFD – Regional Director
• 1- Supported Child Development Coordinator
• 1- NHA, NW Health Unit – Public Health Nursing
• 1- School District Administration
• 1-Smithers Community Services Association
• 1- Friendship Centre
• 1- Northern Society for Domestic Peace
• 1 – Kyah Wiget Education Society
• 1- Child Development Centre – Executive Director
• 2- Make Children First coordinators

• 1- Houston ECD Representative
• 1- Hazelton ECD Representative
