About Us

The Algoma District Services Administration Board (ADSAB) serves as the service system manager for children’s services, with governance and funding provided by the Ministry of Education. We recognize that communities across our service area have complex and diverse needs and we work to support high-quality early learning and child care.
To support high-quality early learning and child care, our work is guided by the following strategic priorities:

  • Access
  • Affordability
  • Inclusion
  • Quality
  • Data and reporting

Our Work

We work closely with the community to develop a coordinated system that meets the diverse needs of children and families in Algoma.

Working Together

We provide leadership, coordination, and support to service providers, school boards and community partners. By strengthening collaboration and removing barriers, we help build meaningful connections and support innovative, coordinated approaches for children and families.
