EPUC Child Care Centre is a non-profit, non-denominational early learning environment. In July 2021 our program opened in a newly created five classroom school with green space, offering child care programs for parents in Halton Region. We are proud to be part of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) national program to provide quality, accessible, and affordable child care for our community.
