  • CASA Caregiver Village - Casa has designed the CASA Caregiver Village website and downloadable app. This web-based parenting resource focuses on the mental health of children aged 0-18 by offering hundreds of evidenced-based strategies easily accessible on line. Many of the strategies come with downloadable tools that have been proven to be helpful for parents and caregivers who struggle to manage their children's challenging behaviours. The site educates visitors about children's mental health, while reaching out to parents and caregivers to normalize their experience. In their own words parents talk about their fears, worries, and ultimately their success on the journey to mental wellness. Interactive tools, such as videos, worksheets, visual imagery, articles and additional links help parents cope.

Family Resources 

At Children’s Village School we believe that students achieve their best when family and school can work together collaboratively. We invite and encourage parents, guardians and family members to be active members of your student’s learning team; we welcome your thoughts, suggestions and input into your child’s programming, and encourage you to connect with the classroom team regularly.

Among the resources and supports available to students at Children’s Village School are school Psychologists and a Home School Liaison Counsellor. These individuals are active members of our school community and vital to the success of our students. Their support is available to students within the school, but also to family members. Should you ever be interested in exploring the supports and services our Psychologists or Home School Liaison Counsellor could provide to you and your family, please call the main office during school hours.
