In 1971, we started as the Noah’s Ark Toy Library for Handicapped Children, run by a trivial group of parents of children with a disability. At the time, families were beginning to refuse to put their children with disabilities into institutional care and institutions stopped admitting young children. This social change meant that children began to live at home, prompting the need for new education and therapy services. They established toy libraries for children with a disability. The service recognized the importance of play in a child’s development and provided a store for families to discuss the challenges of parenting.

We pay our respects to them and their cultures and to Elders both preceding and present.
