Access to child care improved in Armstrong

Provincial funding will allow the Armstrong Montessori Academy to create 20 new child care spaces for children aged three to kindergarten.

Academy owner Valerie Brousseau said the funding means they can renovate their space to help more children grow, learn, and thrive in an environment that nurtures all aspects of their development.

“Our goal is to create a centre that provides a multicultural, social stimulating and community-minded environment that puts children on the path to self-development and success,” Brousseau said. “Thank you for making affordable and accessible child care a priority.”

Nearly 30 new, affordable licensed child care spaces in Armstrong have been funded by the province since the Childcare New Spaces Fund launched in July 2018.
