Centennial Infant and Child Centre strengthens families and their young children with special needs

Centennial focuses on the individual needs of each child and family through early intervention at home, in our integrated preschool program, and through participation in community programs. Centennial values and builds on the unique abilities and strengths of children with special needs, and encourages all of them to develop the confidence and skills to find their place in the world.

The right support at the right time changes everything.

When Melissa first reached out to CICC's Early Intervention program, she was in one of the hardest seasons of her life. Navigating her son Josh's RSV diagnosis and not knowing where to turn.

At CICC, she found the support she was looking for and so much more.
"I was scared and overwhelmed, and honestly, I just wanted things to be 'normal' again. But as we went through Early Intervention, my perspective changed. I started celebrating progress in new ways — not comparing my child to others, but seeing their unique strengths. Now, my hopes and dreams are for my child to feel confident and included. I dream of a world where differences are accepted, and support is just a part of the journey, not a setback. And for myself, I've found a voice I didn't know I had — I want to keep advocating for my child and for others like them."

A mother who came to us looking for help is now a champion for her child and for families just like hers. That's what early intervention makes possible.
This spring, our Start Strong campaign is raising funds to make sure more families can access programs like Early Intervention and Hospital-to-Home when it matters most. Every contribution, big or small, helps a child take their first strong steps forward.

“As we do not have family in this country, being part of CICC has made a remarkable difference in our son’s development.”

When Priscilla first joined the Integrated Preschool at Centennial Infant and Child Centre, her hope was simple: support, guidance, and a place where her child could grow.

With encouragement from the CICC team, her son began building his motor skills — first supported in a stander, and now taking steps toward walking independently. He’s also reaching important feeding milestones, showing interest in purées and yogurt.

For Priscilla’s family, CICC has become more than a program. It’s a community.

Last year alone, CICC’s Early Intervention team partnered with close to 400 families across Toronto, and 43 children were enrolled in our Integrated Preschool program — each one supported by a compassionate, highly trained team committed to helping them thrive.

This is what Building Futures. Changing Lives. Strengthening Families. looks like in action.

To our donors, volunteers, and community — thank you. Your generosity makes stories like Priscilla’s possible.

When everything feels overwhelming, support can change everything.

At CICC, Early Intervention is about more than services — it’s about walking alongside families in the moments when they need it most. It helps parents move from fear and uncertainty to understanding, confidence, and advocacy.

Thanks to the support of our community, families don’t have to face these journeys alone. 💛

Behind every number is a story of possibility. ✨

In just one year, our Early Intervention team has turned data into real-life milestones for nearly 400 children and their families. 📈💙

Over the course of a year, we’ve:
- Supported 389 infants through 1,729 visits 🏠
- Responded to 364 new referrals 📞

While we are proud to support nearly 400 families annually, many children still remain on our waitlist. This reminds us how much more work there is to do—and why your support is more critical than ever.

Together, we can ensure no child is left waiting for the care they deserve.

Powering Potential Campaign

The most important campaign the Foundation has ever undertaken for the Centre. $10 MILLION is needed to purchase, build or renovate, and furnish a new larger and more accessible site for the Preschool and other programs. Montgomery Sisam Needs Assessment recommended that Centennial requires between 16-000 to 20-000 square feet of physical space to adequately accommodate it's programs. That is more than double the space that we currently occupy. Your contribution to the campaign can help make our dream a reality. To learn more about making a Powering Potential Campaign Pledge or to discuss recognition options for pledges of $75,000+ please contact Debra Bond-Gorr, CFRE.
