Forces in Neighbourhood Hubs

  • leading interdisciplinary research to help
    children thrive

Reason IWe have a long way to go to eliminate
avoidable vulnerability by kindergarten age in
BC, and to keep it down once we get it down.

Best Environments for Young Children
1. Encouragement of exploration 2. Mentoring in
basic skills 3. Celebration of developmental
advances 4. Guided rehearsal extension of new
skills 5. Protection from inappropriate
disapproval, teasing, or punishment 6. A rich
responsive language environment

Reason IVThe integrated ECD/CC hub model best
addresses barriers to access

14
Barriers to Access Childs
Perspective
1. Program or service not there 2. Costs too
much 3. Transportation 4. Time offered 5.
Language 6. Fragmentation 7. Lack of info 8.
Conflicting Expectations 9. Social distance 10.
Parental consciousness
15

Barriers to Access Agency Perspective
agency mandate too narrow agency does not
have the skill base agency does not have the
resources no intersectoral group to work with
planning cycles longer than the cycles of
mobility economic security
funding incentives create the sucker problem
16
Reason VSocieties that have been more
successful at child development than Canada have
done it this way
