Your Support Matters

At BrightStart Caledon, we deeply appreciate the funding we receive from various levels of government. However, individual and community contributions are essential to ensuring our FREE high quality programs and services are available to all Caledon children and families.

These dollars fund programs and services that help Caledon families, caregivers and children with:

  • Pre- and Postnatal Support
  • Child Development Programs
  • Early Learning and School Readiness
  • Parent and Caregiver Co-Learning and Connection
  • Physical Literacy, Nutrition and Wellness Promotion
  • Information, Resources and Referral Services
  • Family Support Programs and Services

Without your support we wouldn’t be able to do the important work we do. It truly takes a village to raise a family!

A caregiver and a young child sit together at a table, engaging in a craft activity. The child, dressed in a colourful striped shirt with a bow in her hair, watches intently as the caregiver helps her with the project. A small yellow container holds craft supplies, and colourful chalk drawings are on the table. The scene takes place in a lively and creative playroom at the BrightStart Caledon Family Centre, fostering a hands-on learning environment.

What Families Say

BrightStart Caledon always offers us a moment to rest and seek out information and support. We attended frequently, and we appreciate the unstructured time for our girls to roam and explore and we enjoy the songs and stories too!
