Child Development Centre
Serving Delta, Surrey, White Rock & Langley
Since 1959, REACH Child and Youth Development Society has served children with support needs and their families in Delta, Surrey, White Rock, and Langley, B.C. REACH is dedicated to building inclusive, accessible, supportive societies where all individuals flourish.
We offer a variety of programs and services designed to meet the needs of children birth through 25, to ensure their optimum growth and development. Whenever possible, children and youth are included in the goal-setting process. This approach empowers them and their families to make informed decisions that shape their futures, while highlighting strengths, honoring diversity and individuality, and enhancing their quality of life. By actively engaging in their own services, children and families build agency, fostering lifelong self-determination.
