PLAY Who Can Receive CFOSP Services? CFOSP services are available to infants and children residing within the Halton Region and enrolled in a licensed childcare centre (not yet eligible for full-day kindergarten) or attending a licensed before and after school program (up to age 12). CFOSP services are provided within the childcare setting or may be provided within the family home. Children may be experiencing emotional, behavioural, developmental, learning or social difficulties. Families may be struggling with needs around how to support their child in childcare. Problems with sleeping, eating, separation, attachment, anxiety, jealousy or anger beyond the child’s developmental stage can be signs of difficulty.

CFOSP GROUPS
Therapy helps families, or individuals within a family understand and improve the way they interact with each other. Children who fit the CFOSP criteria for referral are eligible for Therapy Services.
Caregiver education and treatment groups may be offered to families, children and child care staff residing in Halton region.
At times play is used to help parents/caregivers learn to read their child’s cues and understand their behaviour in order to strengthen the parent/ child relationship. Within this relationship, a child learns to feel secure, regulate emotions, and interact socially.
Treatment groups address different issues and needs, for example, positive parenting strategies, developing secure parent-child attachment, and parents learning to support their child’s anxiety.
