Getting a spot in Peterborough

Fee subsidy and any central waitlist in Peterborough are run by the City of Peterborough (39 centres) or the County of Northumberland (1 centre), depending on where the centre is. Contact the one for your centre about a subsidy or a waitlist, or apply to each centre directly.

While you wait, EarlyON child and family centres run free drop-in programs for children up to age 6 and their parents and caregivers: What Is EarlyON?
