Family and Community Support Services
Early Development Instrument
As part of our ongoing commitment to the children of Devon, the
programs we offer are being purposefully created with one or
more of the five developmental domains in mind. Where you see
the symbols by the programs you will know what domains they
primarily focus on.
Developmental Domains:
Physical Health & Well-Being:
Encouraging physical growth and independence, gross
and fine motor skills and coordination.
Social Competence:
Encouraging playing well with others, curiosity about the
world, respect for adults and other children, behavior and
following rules / instructions, independence, self-confidence and eagerness to explore new things.
Emotional Maturity:
Regardless of background, many people need help at some point
and whether it is for you, a family member, colleague or a friend, we
are here to offer assistance and aim to help get you to the service
you need quickly.
BLOCK PARENT PROGRAM NEEDS YOU!
The Block Parent Program of Canada is a registered
charity and Canadian organization. Put into place to
make your community safer for those who are lost,
scared, vulnerable, or in distress. Along with 21 other

to be involved as a safe home, or small business, in our community.
