Kids & Us Community Childcare and Family Education Centres is a community based, not for profit, charitable organization dedicated to meeting the need for accessible, rural child services in Grey and Bruce Counties.
We currently operate six Community Childcare Centres, an Ontario Early Years Centre and an additional ten Early Years outreach locations all dedicated to meeting the needs of children and families in our communities.
Our organisation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of parents who use our services. They provide leadership, feedback and guidance to our agency.
