These programs include drop-in centres, toy lend- ing and resource libraries, access to a caregiver regis- try and parent/caregiver education through books and workshops. Best of all these programs provide parents, caregivers and children with the opportu- nity to meet and interact in a friendly environment to the benefit of all.
