Centre pour enfants Timiskaming Child Care

Licensed Home Child Care is provided in a warm, nurturing, and stimulating home environment. The mixed-age setting closely reflects family life, giving children the opportunity to interact with peers of different ages while supporting their social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and communication development. Many families choose home-based child care because it offers flexibility, personalized care, and the comfort of a family-oriented setting.

Financial assistance with child care costs may be available to eligible families through the local District of Timiskaming Social Services Administration Board (DTSSAB).
