The long waitlist for daycare in Prince Edward County has attracted national attention — and funding for an expansion of The Hub Child and Family Centre.

In addition to support from Prince Edward Lennox and Addington Social Services, an expansion grant from the joint federal and provincial initiative, Canada Wide Early Learning Child Care means a whole new HUB opens at Base31 in January with licensed spaces for 49 children.

In December 2024, the HUB and Base31 started to work in earnest on a dedicated childcare facility for Prince Edward County. The Base contributed $75,000 to the project through both funding and a lease subsidy, while dedicating an entire support team to planning and logistics. 

Building 3 now features a beautiful, 3750 square foot facility with three separate classrooms for toddlers and pre-schoolers surrounded by gardens and a dedicated play space for children from 18 months to 4 years old.

The centre will offer subsidized spots to cost $22 per day.
