Our Private Home Day Care (PHDC)

Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (PMFRC) will do the legwork for you in locating a quality home child care service for your children. We guarantee that all PMFRC Private Home Day Care homes are screened for fire safety and that caregivers have passed a criminal record and security check. In addition, our Home Visitor will conduct spot checks at the caregiver’s home to ensure that your children are receiving the best care possible.

• How do you introduce new foods?
• How do you settle a child who refuses to sleep?  What if nothing works?
