Member of the board of directors of Kemptville Area Family Resource Centre

KAFRC began as a mutual support group for parents in 1982. The group was known as 'Parent-to-Parent' and was established through the efforts of several local parents.

In 1987, KAFRC became incorporated as a non-profit organization offering several programs and services to the community. The Kemptville Toy Library (transferred to the Ontario Early Years Centre in October 2003) and Kemptville Co-operative Nursery School operated under the umbrella of KAFRC. South Branch Child Care Centre opened its doors in September 1992.

KAFRC now operates Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten and School Age programs. Most recently KAFRC became the service provider for the Kemptville Public School Ready 2 Learn program. All of our programs are licensed with the Ministry of Education.
