Children like Max get the help they need through support of the Silly Boat Regatta.

"Max was born with a complex heart condition and several other severe abnormalities. After 5 months in the hospital Max was able to go home thanks to the Nanaimo Child Development Centre. Our therapist was instrumental in providing moral support at a very difficult time, connecting us with government programs, assisting with equipment and supplies needed to care for Max at home and leading the other therapists. The Child Development Centre continues to play an important part in the life and development of Max." Jean Marc, Max's father.

Each year the Child Development Centre helps over 1400 children and their families to reach their optimum development.

With your continued support we can make the difference in the lives of the children in our community!


What is the Child Development Centre?

A place for families with children 0-19 years of age.

The Child Development Centre is a non-profit organization that provides individualized services for children and their families that promote optimum child development.

Last year, the Centre helped over 1400 local children and families in our community. All monies raised directly benefit children in our community.

The Child Development Centre has been providing services to children since 1967.

We are proud of our history, our growth and willingness to meet the needs of the community. We recognize that children have unique and diverse needs that must be addressed if they are to reach their full potential. The staff and board are committed to continually improving and enhancing our programs in order to meet these needs.
