The setting for our organisation, Canossaville Children and Community Services (CCCS), is the Canossian Village, a unique complex situated in the Circuit Road/Aljunied Road neighbourhood that comprises 7 religious, education and care facilities in a single location under one management: a convent, a primary school, a special education school, an inclusive preschool, an inclusive student care centre, a child development unit, and a corporate services office.The child development unit supports the Village through a multidisciplinary specialist team. Through sharing of knowledge and workflows, the Village aims to address the multi-faceted challenges of at-risk families in a holistic manner. The services provided are in the areas of: social work, resilience development (psychology and counselling), speech therapy, occupational therapy, and educational therapy.This Village is the only one of its kind in Singapore. We are a unique model. The Canossian Village aims to integrate services across the traditional silos of early childhood, primary school, special needs and after school care. When done right, the child and the family are then supported holistically.The work being done at The Village is critical as it focuses on forming hearts and transforming lives by proactively identifying and reaching out to the poor and disadvantaged families. The impact of our unique model is far reaching. At this young age, we have the opportunity to affect positive change and long-term impact on the child and family unit. In turn, the positive and far-reaching effects permeate to the surrounding community and future generations.
