Childcare Choices
Child care centres offer balanced programs of activities for infants, preschool and school-age children. Children learn and grow while making friends with other children of the same age.

Kindergarten Age of Entry
Effective September 2010, kindergarten programs will be delivered through the public school system. Children must turn five years old by December 31st that year to enter kindergarten and turn six years old by December 31st to enter Grade 1. Please contact the local school in your area for registration information.
Choosing Child Care
Choosing child care is an important decision. This decision must be made with your and your child's needs in mind. Regulated child care means that the child care centre is licensed by the Child Care Facilities Board and therefore must meet basic requirements.
The Early Childhood Development Association in partnership with the Early Childhood Care and Education Network has published a booklet entitled "A Parents Guide to Quality Child Care on PEI". This guide is intended to assist parents in searching for quality child care. This booklet is now available for download at the link below.
