Important news for Brome Lake families!
Brome Lake, October 7, 2022 — The Town of Brome Lake is proud to announce that it has received the green light from the Ministère de la Famille for the opening of an educational daycare service in the community, a first in the Brome-Missisquoi MRC!
Opening by the end of October, the new service will occupy a room at Centre Lac-Brome and will include 12 spaces (including 4 for infants). It will be under the responsibility of two educators. Priority is given to Brome Lake residents in the allocation of spaces.
“This is excellent news for the growing number of young families who choose to settle in Brome Lake,” said Brome Lake Mayor Richard Burcombe. “There is rarely a week that goes by without us receiving messages from families desperately looking for a childcare space. This is why we are very pleased to see the number of spaces being increased by this new service, which complements the others already existing on the territory.”
Since it is a family environment, there must be a good mix of children of different ages. There are still spaces available for 3- and 4-year-olds. Interested parents can contact the Town with their home address, e-mail, phone number, the number of spaces needed and the children’s birth dates.
This initiative is made possible by a pilot project launched earlier this year by the Ministère de la Famille. The projects submitted maintain the main advantages of family childcare, which are to provide a friendly, stable environment with children of different ages that reminds them of their own living environment.
