Free service for families with children who need extra support
If your child needs extra support to play with other children, follow routines, or learn skills while in child care, Peel Inclusion Resource Services (PIRS) can help.
PIRS staff work with educators to help children 12 years and younger participate fully in licensed centre-based and home child care programs. They will work with you and the child care program staff, providing resources that focus on your child’s strengths and areas of development.
How to access this service
This is a free service. No diagnosis is needed to apply.
• You can fill out the referral form on Peel Region’s website, and a PIRS staff member will contact you within 3 to 4 weeks.
• If your child attends a before-and-after school program, speak to your child care program staff to learn how to access PIRS.
