We acknowledge the financial support of the province of British Columbia.
The Association’s first program was a block-funded special needs preschool with 18 children with support needs, who were funded by the then the Ministry of Social Services, and 18 non-support needs children in three classes of 12 children each, with children attending either two or three half days per week. The children were supported by three trained staff members and an annual operating budget of under $50,000.
From that beginning, we have grown to an annual operating budget of over $1,000,000.00, ten full time programs and numerous other shorter-term projects, and an annual staff between 60 and 80.
We have become the Shuswap Children’s Association, as more reflective of our current mission, which includes continuing to provide services for children with support needs but also includes supporting early childhood development and childcare.
