    All sites will be operated by YMCA, and will consider hours of operation to ensure the child care services meet the needs of health professionals.

    Corner Brook will be one of three sites across the province to improve access to early learning and child care. The other two are St. John’s and Bonavista. These sites will create approximately 160 child care spaces and will be developed over the next six months. All sites will be operated by YMCA, and will consider hours of operation to ensure the child care services meet the needs of health professionals.
