Specialized Care Program

Temporary child care for families in which both parents are working.

Program Overview

The Specialized Care program offers flexible, quality care from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

This licensed program is intended for working families with children 0-12 years of age and is open to Military and civilian families. This is not full-time care but will support families who require temporary care to report to work, attend appointments, are on house hunting trips and for those families dealing with a work-related separation such as deployments. It is fully staffed by Early Childhood Educators.

Each family situation is unique, and the duration of temporary care provided is based on individual need. This program is not intended to be full-time permanent care. If your family requires more than temporary care, an exemption form can be completed for review by the PMFRC Executive Director.

Intake is required, contact [email protected] or call (613) 687-2104 ext. 231. Once the approval process is complete, a registration package will be sent to families by email. Children may start with the program as soon as the completed registration package is received – including the child’s immunization record – by email.

For families looking for occasional child care for non-work related reasons, please visit North Side Child Care.

Payment

Payment is required at the beginning of each day of care.

If families are unable to pay when dropping off their child, please reach out to a member of the Specialized Care team to discuss alternative arrangements.

A family who books their child for three (3) hours or less will be charged for a half day rate. Should the child exceed a three (3) hour limit of care the full day rate will be charged according to the child’s age.

Subsidy families have the option to purchase a PMFRC punch card.

Payment is still required by families using this service for deployment-related reasons. If you require financial assistance, please contact our Emergency Family Care Coordinator by phone at (613) 687-1641 ext. 2230 or send an email to [email protected].

*Note: Families will be required to pay the required fees for any scheduled days if the child is absent. There is no cancellation once the child is booked.
