The Strong Roots Centre was created to better describe the comprehensive services offered at this Childhood Connections location. We chose a name that embodies our mission of “supporting children, youth, and the people who care for them” while reflecting the diverse programs available here. The concept of “Strong Roots” carries many meanings, but at its heart, it represents building a healthy foundation for growth. We support children from birth to age 13, along with their parents and caregivers. Every service we offer is rooted in the belief that a strong foundation can transform the lives of children, youth, and families.
