Are you a parent or caregiver? Are you planning a family?

We want to hear from you about your child care needs and experiences to help us plan current and future child care services in Northumberland County.

About child care in Northumberland

Northumberland County works with 11 local licensed child care providers to coordinate and plan services for 31 child care centres and three licensed home child care agencies across Northumberland County, overseeing approximately 1,900 child care spaces. Northumberland County also offers a child care fee subsidy for families in need, to help pay some or all of the cost of child care.

To learn more about child care centres in Northumberland or to see if you may be eligible for our child care fee subsidy, please visit the Northumberland County website.

Planning for next steps

The demand for local child care services has been on the rise, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. With limited resources available and high demand throughout our community, collecting data on the needs of local families will help ensure our resources are directed to areas of greatest need and that our services are tailored to suit families in our community as we plan for future service delivery.

To obtain this data, the Northumberland County Early Years team is conducting a child care needs assessment survey with Northumberland families to help staff plan current and future child care services for the community. This data will be used to help inform Northumberland County's Early Years Business Plan as well as our 5-year Early Year Learning and Child Care Service System Plan.
