The County of Renfrew is opening a second child-care centre for essential and core service workers.
The County of Renfrew in cooperation with the Province of Ontario will open a second licensed child-care centre to provide care for children of healthcare and front-line workers at no cost to families. The County of Renfrew has partnered with the Renfrew County and District Health Unit to ensure the protection and safety of the children, parents and staff in these centres.
Child’s Paradise Daycare Centre in Renfrew will begin to operate at 450 O’ Brien Road by April 21st. The location will have five spaces available for children from toddler to school aged.
The application for a space at the centre is available at the County of Renfrew Website.
Chair of the County of Renfrew Social Services Committee James Brose says the County of Renfrew is committed to supporting our healthcare and frontline workers by having child-care in place for these essential workers, so those that care for us can feel assured that their children are being looked after.
In addition, the County of Renfrew is reaching out to the community with a needs survey to give them a better indication of this need across our community. The Emergency Childcare Survey is located here.
