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. There are also French-language public and Catholic schools in the area, as well as a very well-respected elementary Christian school. We can help you explore the options to find the right programs for your family.

The extremely popular Outdoor Adventure program takes students beyond the classroom and into the wild, where they’ll find themselves rock climbing and whitewater rafting. Combined with Algonquin’s business training, graduates emerge ready for the expanding world of eco-tourism and adventure travel. Other programs at Algonquin’s Pembroke campus include forestry technician and police foundation courses, nursing, and business.

First Time Buyers >A Good Start
When a real estate agent begins to work with a new buyer, we will sit down with you, ask a number of questions, and listen carefully to your answers. Our purpose during this initial interview is to get a clear idea of what kind of property you are looking for and your approximate price range. We explain how we will function as your representative, what the local market is like, and what we can do to help you locate that perfect home.
It is important for you as a prospective buyer to be as clear as possible about your needs. After we have talked and you have decided how much you can comfortably spend, we will know how to facilitate your home search. We won't take you through a three-story colonial with a top floor master suite if you want to avoid climbing up and down stairs! Establishing clear communication with our clients helps us save you hours of unfocused house hunting.
