Since 2019, daycare services for children in Addington Highlands and North Frontenac have been available at a centre that based our of North Addington Education Centre (NAEC) in Cloyne that is independently operated by Lennox and Addington Resources for Children (LARC).
“Kids at the daycare saw the playhouse in the kindergarten yard that was built by the students in the shop program at NAEC, so we approached the shop class to see if they had an opening to make one for our year, and they came through for us,” said Hannah Lough, the Centre's Director. “We are hoping that they will be able to make us a mud kitchen next.”
The daycare has also benefited from a contribution of $1,000 from Addington Highlands Township towards the yard.
“The kids really enjoy the yard improvements,” she said, “it is very exciting for them.”
The LARC daycare centre has a capacity of 39 children. It is a licensed centre and subsidies are available for local families to help cover daycare fees.
“The shop class has been great to work with. I think they like the idea of making something for the kids in their own community.”
