Education is for life — and there is a lifetime of opportunities to learn and grow in our region. The best start in life begins with a child’s earliest years. Your child deserves a caring, nurturing and stimulating environment as they discover the ever-expanding world around them. There are a wide variety of options available in the Pembroke and Petawawa region, including: | • | licensed family home child care, which is available now through the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre and will be available in Pembroke beginning in January | | • | parent co-op nursery schools – one in Pembroke and three in Petawawa, where parents sit on the board of directors and various committees, and are invited to participate with their children | | • | and daycare centres |
Local facilities combine personalized care with such features as: | • | extended hours to meet the individual needs of working families | | • | daily before-school and after-school programs | | • | regular half-day pre-school groups | | • | and a Snoezelen room in Pembroke that is available for children with special needs from throughout Renfrew County |
Parents will find a full spectrum of support, including one-on-one help and group sessions, as well as toy libraries and play groups, at the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre and at the Ontario Early Years Centre in Pembroke and its satellite facilities throughout Renfrew County. In Ontario, both the public and the Catholic systems are fully funded from kindergarten through high school.

Cosmetic Improvements >Kitchen Clutter
The kitchen is usually very important to prospective buyers. Your kitchen may not be new and state-of-the-art, but it should look its best.
Your kitchen should be spotlessly clean and well organized while your home is on the market. The counter tops should be clean and free of clutter, and the floor should shine. Appliances should be clean and in good working order. You may want to add a few decorator touches or replace cabinets, flooring, and even appliances for a small investment. Dollars spent on kitchen improvements usually pay major dividends when you sell your home. If you are planning to sell your home and need some advice in this area, an agent will be happy to discuss your options with you.
