Early Years Family Navigators are available to guide parents and caregivers of young children (birth to school entry) to community resources to support their family, specifically the child’s early learning and development, such as:
• connection to programs and services (Family Resource Centre, Talk with Me, Family and Early Childhood, etc.)
• childcare/school registration (Child Care Connect NB, Anglophone East),
• health needs (NB Patient Connect, developmental screening, direction after diagnosis),
• basic needs including food insecurity, transportation, and housing,
• mental health supports (therapy, support groups, and crisis lines),
• funding for various needs (recreational, childcare, government benefits, social supports, family emergency etc.),
• support to newcomers (Multicultural Associations, sharing knowledge of local programs and services).
Families can contact Natalie by phone or email, and she will provide recommendations and offer a follow up within a week to ensure the program or service recommended meets the needs of the family.
