The Pense Daycare Centre Board is pleased to announce that we have been approved to develop a new, subsidized daycare facility in the Town of Pense.
The board is working to complete the following milestones:
- Location selection - completed
- Building design - completed
- Development & building permit approval - completed
- Fundraising - ongoing
- Construction - in progress
- Staffing - TBD
- Application for children - TBD
- Opening date January 2026
Quick stats about the new daycare facility:
- Capacity for 75 children
- Two floors with approximately 3200 sq ft each
- Elevator and ramps for full accessibility
- Attached outdoor play area and parking on premises for staff
- It will run as a Cooperative with a Board that will oversee the facility and hire the Director. The Director will then hire and manage the staff who directly care for the children
- Waitlist right now is prioritized by primary residence location – Town of Pense and RM of Pense have priority
How can you get involved?
We are looking for more help with the Board and Fundraising efforts, so please feel free to sign up at the Town Office. You don’t have to have a child who may use the service to help out!
Waitlist registration forms are also at the Town Office for those wanting to get on the list.
Anyone interested in donating to this exciting project can make a payment to the Town of Pense and will receive a donation tax receipt.
