Early Years and Child Care Division Overview

The Early Years and Child Care Division is the manager for child care in Stratford, St. Marys and Perth County. In partnership with the community, the Early Years and Child Care Division promotes fair and equal access to high quality care for children, and support to their families and caregivers.

Children's services are planned, managed and provided in ways that promote early learning and development, and that respond to family needs and choices. We believe that integrated child care planning ensures public value and benefit to all.
