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. The REACH Child and Youth Charitable Foundation fundraises additional funds to support REACH Society programs.

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.

Corey and Michelle Baker

We didn’t have any answers until we found Reach.

Reach Preschool Parent

Our daughter has had her challenges and we greatly appreciate the way you’ve gently and kindly handled her separation anxiety

SCD Program Parent

The support of the REACH staff has allowed me to grow as a person and as a parent. Everyone at REACH is approachable. Compassion and understanding are part of their inherent nature.

Sibshops Program Parent

Our son is attending the Sib shop which is fantastic. It is a great opportunity for him to know there are other kids out there dealing with similar situations as him.

Parent of child receiving ABA

You gave us the best gift any parent could wish for – their child to say from his heart, “I love you

CONNEX Program Parent

REACH has been very, very helpful…The staff have always been very knowledgeable and helpful. My son and our family have benefited greatly…

Sunny Liu

I felt I am not alone with Reach help, although I understand it does take time to improve the quality of life, especially the life of the family with special needs.

Group Respite Parent

Invitations to go to friends houses or to have friends come to our house are far and few between. Here, nobody judges anyone, everyone is included, they are all teens…

Parent of child receiving ABA

We all learned to work together, overcome obstacles….all to benefit our daughter. Thank you for helping me to grow also!

Parent of child in Reach counselling program

What would we do without it. It’s just awesome. …I can’t rave enough about it and how it helps [my son] move ahead. I couldn’t help him in this way.

Kids Friendship Club Parent

(Our son) was able to generalize and apply many of the skills he learned here into school and community. His teacher reports increased participation with peers and initializing at recess and lunch. We could really see more positive confidence performing at his piano recital and at gymnastics – thank you! “

PBS Parent

Our consultant brought excellent ideas, strategies to improve the quality of life which will impact not only our son but the whole family.

PBS parent

You have also showed us that our feelings of frustration are normal and that things will get better.

Preschool Parent

One year ago the extend of his language at age three was “want juice”. Now my son can come home and tell me about his day. If you don’t believe that is a miracle you are not looking hard enough.

Samir & Rajni Gandhi

We, as parents, have seen a visible difference in the communication and understanding of our child under Reach’s able guidance.

Karen Ostrom

I had so much trust in Reach, everybody was just so caring, so sensitive, so thoughtful, not just to my son but to our family.
