                                                  Child Care

                                                  Today, parents in our community are able to send their children
                                                  to a licensed Child Care Centre on the island so that they
                                                  can go to work either on the island or off the island in the
                                                  nearby towns.
                                                  The Child Care Centre looks like any other child care centre in
                                                  towns or cities, except that it is located in a spot with a view
                                                  of Lake Simcoe and in an area that is quiet and serene. It is in a
                                                  house that has been renovated with a large kitchen to prepare
                                                  great-tasting food. The addition has divided areas that function
                                                  as activity and rest areas.

                                                  We are working toward the construction of a new facility and
                                                  have developed detailed plans that will see one building house
                                                  both the Child Care Centre and the Elementary School, and
                                                  remain centrally located within the community.
