Passion. Perseverence. Partnership.
Those are the words used to describe the process leading to the official opening this morning of the Rockwood Child Care Centre and the Rockwood EarlyON Child and Family Centre.
Funding for the project was announced five years ago, but two years of pandemic, and supply chain restrictions caused a few issues.
Luisa Artuso, the director of the Children’s Early Years division praised the many parts of the community which came together to make the centre a realiity. The Wellington Catholic District School Board, YMCA Three Rivers, and provincial and municipal governments were all part of the process.
Artuso says it’s particulary inspiring to hear all those levels understand the importance of child care, and early years education.
