The Child Development Centre

Call Directions Website

The Child Development Centre We provide services to support children's development from birth to age 5 in all Yukon communities. Our services are free.

Reach out with any questions you have about your child's development, or fill out a referral form at www.cdcyukon.ca/referral. The Child Development Centre offers a variety of programs and services designed to meet the unique needs of children and families. Therapists and families work together to develop a Family Plan that includes goals that are important to the family. We provide a wide range of services; from answering questions about behaviour, sleep and feeding, to providing physiotherapy or speech language therapy, to working with families whose child has just received a diagnosis. Some of the services we offer include:

- ideas to try at home;
- developmental assessments and follow-up;
- therapy;
- groups for children and/or parents;
- visits to childcare centres; and
- child and youth diagnostic and support services. We see children and families in their home, childcare centre, at the Child Development Centre or anywhere in their community that suits them best. We have services in 2 locations in Whitehorse - at our Copper Ridge Place location and at the Dusk'a Headstart Family Learning Centre at our location in Kwanlin Dün. Your child does not need to have a diagnosis. If you have questions about your child's development contact us, we are here to help. To inquire about accessing services, you can call, email or fill out our online referral form: https://cdcyukon.ca/referral

Our services are free, and we take your lead in any services or supports your child may be offered. You can choose to receive services, or not and you can stop receiving services at anytime.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are taking time to honour Survivors and acknowledge the lasting impacts of residential schools on children, families and communities.

At the Child Development Centre, reconciliation is ongoing work. It is not a single action or initiative, but something we are committed to learning about, reflecting on, and working to uphold in how we support children and families - listening and growing along the way.

That commitment takes many forms. One example is our work to translate the names of the therapy rooms in our building into Southern Tutchone - we encourage you to look for this next time you visit.
