Prince Edward Island takes another step to transform its patchwork of child and family services into an integrated early childhood system. The government of PEI announced further investment in Best Start, the provincial newborn screening and home-visiting program operated by CHANCES Family Centre in partnership with Public Heath Nursing and the provincial network of family resource centres.
The investment strengthens Smart Start Phase 2, aligning Best Start and Early Years Centres with the public education system demonstrating how to make early childhood education opportunities available for all preschool children.
