Saskatchewan is Canada's sunniest province, averaging from 2,000 to 2,500 hours of sunshine annually.

Early Childhood Intervention Programs (ECIPs) is a province-wide network of community-based supports for families of children who experience or are at risk for developmental delays. ECIPs utilize a strength-based approach to deliver family-focused, home- and centre-based services to families.  Early Childhood Interventionists and Consultants build trusting relationships with families and assist them in working toward mutually-identified goals.

ECIP organizations share the vision of ". . . all families hav[ing] the capacity to meet the developmental needs of their children within the community of their choice".

Children who are involved with ECIPs are often delayed in reaching age-appropriate developmental milestones such as walking, talking, eating, manoeuvring, playing or interacting socially with others, or are born with a condition or diagnosis that makes it more difficult for them to develop at rates that are typical for a specific age group. ECIP interventionists build trusting relationships with families and assist them in working toward mutually-identified goals for their child(ren) and family.

ECIP staff provide an important link between families and other professionals in the Early Learning and Child Care sector and the preK-12 sector. They strive to work collaboratively with child care providers, speech and language pathologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, physicians, early childhood psychologists, teachers, and school administrators, among others, to ensure family-centred goals are achieved and smooth transitions to school and other centre-based programs and services occur.
