In order to avoid disruption to the routine for currently registered children and for security reasons, all new inquiries to the Childcare Society are by telephone or e-mail.  Center tours are by appointment only.  Please contact the Manager of Childcare Services for assistance. 

 

Porcupine Pals Daycare Center is licensed for 25 spaces for children 3 to 5 years of age. 

We strongly recommend applying for childcare as early as possible as we have limited number of spaces and a long waitlist for those spaces.
