Northumberland County offers many supports and services for children, youth, parents and caregivers.
Child care financial support
We offer child care fee subsidy for those who qualify. You may qualify if you are working, going to school, receiving Ontario Works or have a child with special needs. Fee subsidy helps pay some or all of the cost of childcare to one of the many licensed child care options in Northumberland.
EarlyON Centres
EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer free family programming for young children and their families. EarlyON centres are where you and your children can laugh, be curious, play, learn, make friends and feel a sense of belonging.
Special needs resources
If you have a child with special needs, we want to ensure that they can take part in a licensed child care program or approved recreational program of your choice.
Northumberland County has partnered with Five Counties Children’s Centre to deliver Northumberland’s Special Needs Resourcing Program.
