Our Approach to Care
Children First – Our Way of Working With You and Your Family
At Children First, we support families with children from birth to six years old who may be showing signs of developmental needs or early mental health challenges. We listen, learn from you, and work together to find strategies that fit naturally into your daily life. We’re here to support your child, empower your family, and help build a bright path forward.
Why Early Support Matters
The first six years of a child’s life are a critical time for growth and development. At Children First, we understand that every child grows at their own pace, and some may need extra support along the way. Reaching out early helps us work together to understand your child’s needs and build strategies that fit naturally into everyday life. No concern is too small—we’re here to help your child grow, learn, and thrive.

Meet You Where You Are
Our main office is located at 2565 Ouellette Avenue in Windsor, and we are also located at 1620 Jasperson Drive in Kingsville by appointment only.
You don’t have to come to us unless that’s what works best for your family. Many children feel most at ease in familiar surroundings.
Meeting children and caregivers in places that feel natural and comfortable helps us better understand your child’s world and support their learning and development in meaningful ways. We’re happy to meet you:
