The Ontario government created Ontario Early Years Centres to be a place where parents and caregivers can get answers to questions, information about programs and services that are available for young children, and an opportunity to talk to early years professionals, as well as other parents and caregivers in the community. You and your child can visit the Lanark-Carleton Ontario Early Years Centres for a range of free services including:

• Early learning and literacy programs for parents and their children;
• Parenting programs that support parents and caregivers of young children in all aspects of early child development;
• Information and training for new parents about pregnancy and parenting.

The Lanark-Carleton Ontario Early Years Centre is unique in that it's been divided up into two separate locations to better inform the individual communities about children's services and programs in their community.
