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.

Remodeling and Renovations >Show And Sell
Real estate agents are often asked "What is the best way to show and sell a home?" Almost every agent can tell you a story about meeting with a prospective seller who has just completed a lot of work to prepare their home for the market. It can be difficult for a real estate agent to tell the seller that their renovations were not the best changes to effectively market their home.
If you are considering making any improvements prior to selling your home, the best advice is to consult with your agent before you make any changes. An experienced real estate agent can provide you with information that can help you decide what kind of improvements will set the stage for a sale. Whether it is paint and wallpaper, remodeling the bathrooms, or updating the kitchen, your real estate agent can guide you toward "neutral" choices which can assist the buyer's imagination.
