Watford’s United Church will soon house a new childcare centre, part of a project led by two developers from Lambton County. The initiative aims to repurpose the existing church building to meet a growing need for early childhood care in the community.
Developers say the facility will provide a modern, accessible space for families, while preserving the historic character of the site. Community leaders have expressed support, emphasizing that more childcare options are essential for local residents and working parents.
Final details, including timelines for renovation and opening, are expected to be announced once municipal approvals are secured.
“It’s exciting to see this historic space being reimagined for something that directly serves families,” said one project spokesperson.
Local developers plan to transform Watford’s United Church into a childcare centre, balancing heritage preservation with community childcare needs.
