A Strategy for Healthy Child Development

Last Updated Aug 20, 2008 10:25 PM

 



In Prince Edward Island there is a growing awareness and appreciation of the strong and lasting impact of early childhood experiences. Government, community, and business sectors have recognized that in order to create a society and an economy that are strong and healthy, we must optimize growth and development for our children.

As a response, and in their role as a partner in Canada's National Children's Agenda,Government's Throne Speech (1999) announced the development of a five year strategy forchildren from prenatal to early school years. In developing this strategy, it was agreed that itwould incorporate the vision, values and goals of the National Children's Agenda.

Consultations with Islanders across the province confirmed that there is strong support for astrategy that will focus on children - not only as an investment in their future lives, and theresulting impact on our society - but for the quality of their young lives, for their health andhappiness as children, with a value on childhood itself.

For Our Children, A Strategy for Healthy Child Development is about the children of Prince Edward Island - our own children, our grandchildren, and the children in our communities. The goal is to present a strategy that will help our children to grow up in a province that values children for who they are, and that provides opportunities for children to reach their full potential.
