The TLC³ program delivery site was in two Neighbourhood Houses, Kiwassa and Collingwood, in a mixed-income area in the east end of the city. The Vancouver project, called Connections, was created through a partnership of the Infant Development Program of B.C., Developmental Disabilities Association, and the Alan Cashmore Centre, Vancouver Community Mental Health Service of the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

Staff at the partner organizations worked with staff at the Neighbourhood Houses to provide the Parent-Child Mother Goose Program for infants up to two years of age and their parents. Parents who became trained as leaders over the course of TLC³ ran a toddler group. Connections also offered developmental screening for infants and toddlers by the speech-language pathologist who led the project. In total, 174 families participated in Parent-Child Mother Goose Program sessions during the five years of TLC³. Developmental screening was provided at least twice to 106 families.
