About Us
The Fort St. John Child Development Centre (CDC) believes in the potential of all children and is dedicated to the individuals and families we serve. Founded in 1973 by a group of concerned parents, the CDC is a non-profit organization that now offers a wide range of services in early intervention programs and support to children with special needs.
Our unique facility houses a hydro-therapy pool, Snoozelen room, two Early Learning classrooms (preschool), as well as several therapy rooms for speech, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Our new wing will also offer an accessible gymnasium and several more office/therapy spaces to better meet the needs of our families.
Through the tremendous support from parents, volunteers, businesses and the community the CDC has grown from its humble beginnings to a leader in early childhood development and children’s services in our area. It is through these partnerships that we endeavor to continue to pursue excellence in meeting the service needs of the children and families we serve.

The Society
The Child Development Centre is operated by The Child Development Centre Society of Fort St. John and District, which is a registered non-profit society with by-laws and a constitution. As such the Society conforms to all the requirements of the Societies Act. The Society was incorporated under the Societies Act in October of 1973.
The Board of Directors of the Society are a volunteer group, consisting of parents, professionals and individuals from the community who are committed to support and promote quality services for clients and their families in Fort St. John and surrounding areas.
The Society’s role is varied; it is responsible for making decisions about the direction that the Society is heading, how it is governed, programs it offers, and policies that it abides by, as well as how funds are allocated.
The Executive Director oversees all of the operations of the Centre and is accountable to the Board of the Society.
The Society’s Annual General Meeting is held in the fall of each year. Elections for the Board of Directors are held at each Annual General Meeting. Annual reports are sent to all members. There is one full Board meeting every month, with the exceptions of July, August, and December.
