Simcoe County Resource Consultation Services (SCRCS) is a partner in supporting Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) programs across Simcoe County. 

Resource Consultants are a dedicated team of child developmental specialists who work alongside educators to support the inclusion of children with special needs in licensed child care settings, including home childcare, camps and approved children’s recreation programs,  at no additional cost to parents/guardians. All children are supported to form authentic, caring relationships with their peers and educators, enabling them to actively and meaningfully participate in licensed childcare and early years programs (ELCC). Supports provided to ELCC programs by Resource Consultants may include: providing childcare educators with program adaptation strategies; professional learning experiences; developing individual program plans; conducting developmental screens; providing referrals to community agencies; providing information and resources for parents; and, obtaining specialized equipment as required.

Simcoe County Resource Consultation Services (SCRCS) also provides general and child-specific consultation in licensed Before and After school programs in Simcoe County. Child-specific consultation is tailored to address the unique goals of each child, offering up to six visits over a 4 to 6-week period. Each location and classroom can access a RC to provide general strategies, support sharing of community resources and activities to promote inclusion.

Francophone and Indigenous Resource Consultants are available to provide cultural supports within the scope of Resource Consultation services.

SCRCS is a program of CLH Developmental Support Services, which has provided specialized services to people with developmental support needs for more than 60 years with compassion, caring and a commitment to lifelong learning. Learn more about CLH here.
