Our Mission: It Takes a Village

After 27 years, our mission remains as strong as ever: “It Takes a Whole Village to Raise a Child.” We believe that by working together with families, local partners, and community organizations, we can make a real difference in the lives of children and young people. It truly takes all of us, as a connected community, to create a supportive and nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

Community Collaboration and Partnership

At The Dry Arch Children’s Centre, we are committed to delivering coordinated, joined-up, and effective services by working in partnership with local organizations and community groups. By collaborating with others who share our vision, we can offer the best possible support for children, young people, and their families.

We are here to walk alongside you on your family’s journey, providing the help and encouragement you need every step of the way. If you would like to learn more about our programs and services, please contact us.

Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community—because every child deserves to grow up in a village that cares.
