The County of Renfrew Child Care and Early Years Division offers child care supports and services to parents and young children throughout the county.
County of Renfrew child care projects
New child care spaces are being created at schools in Renfrew, Arnprior, Pembroke and Petawawa. The licensed child care projects are approved or currently in approval stage by the Ministry of Education.
As there is no partnering child care agency at this time to operate the programs, management of a waitlist for these spaces has not been created. Information will be made available to families on this website, once the school board has announced a partnership with a licensed child care agency for this project.
Fee subsidy
Child Care Fee Subsidy is a program to assist eligible families with the cost of licensed child care for children up to 13 years of age. Fee subsidy supports eligible families by paying up to 100% of the child care costs. Licensed child care options include licensed child care centres, nursery school, licensed home child care, approved recreation programs or school based extended day programs.
To estimate your daily parent contribution, please use the Fee Subsidy Estimator for Families.
To apply for child care fee subsidy, please complete the online Child Care Fee Subsidy Application.
