Nurturing Families, Building Community: Welcome to Acorn Family Place

At Acorn Family Place, we believe that strong families are the foundation of a thriving community. As a family resource centre, we offer a wide range of programs and services for caregivers and parents of children aged 0-6. Our services and supports range from drop-in and basic needs supplies (food, diapers, clothing, laundry, phone and computer access), to group programming (parenting groups, personal development and wellness workshops), to individualized support  (resource navigation, a pre employment program, wraparound supports); we also have an onsite licensed playroom where children can be cared for by Early Childhood Educators while caregivers take a break in our drop in, or attend a workshop.

Acorn Family Place is a community built on connection, compassion, and care. We walk alongside families through every stage of their journey, meeting them where they are and celebrating who they are. Here, everyone belongs and together we grow stronger.

Our mission is to create equitable opportunities for all families to connect, thrive, and reach their fullest potential.
