Tobermory Primary Place (TPP) is very excited to announce the purchase of our new much-anticipated playground equipment! This has been a work in progress for 2 years and had been in planning stages since before then. Thanks to the efforts of our community fundraisers and generosity, we have finally made this goal come to fruition! This playground equipment will last a lifetime and provide ample development opportunities across the age groups here at TPP. Already, the children absolutely love crawling through the tunnel, riding bikes over the bridge, and practicing their balance skills on the stepping stones and balance beams.

The long awaited modern facility housing the Tobermory Primary Place Child Care Centre (TPP) was officially opened on November 6, 2023. 

The newly renovated daycare is located in the St Edmunds Public School building at 21 Centennial Drive in Tobermory. Currently with 16 children enrolled, the 39-childcare licenced space includes a preschool room and a toddler room each with their play area outside, a kitchen and staff room. The construction of this first class space was made possible through approximately $940,000 in Ministry of Education Child Care Capital Funding and the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Plan, and was a partnership between Bluewater District School Board and Tobermory Primary Place Child Care Centre. The Tobermory Primary Place Child Care Centre operates as a non-profit, charitable organization run by a local volunteer-led Board of Directors.

 TPP is relocating!

Tobermory Primary Place is moving across the field, to St. Edmunds Public School.

Grey-Bruce-Owen Sound MPP, Bill Walker made the official announcement January 27th, 2022. The Ontario government is investing $600,000 to this project through the Early Years Capital Program. The Funding will flow through the School Board to support renovations to retrofit St. Edmunds Public School’s new layout

TPP will have a toddler classroom for 15, and a preschool classroom for 24 children, a total of 39 child care spaces. Don’t worry, we can’t forget the school agers. We will continue to have our before and after school program, and summer camp at St. Edmunds too. Child Care Centre's offering a school age program in a school setting, enter a permit agreement to share space during non-instructional hours. These spaces are not included in the project numbers.

Fingers are crossed that construction starts this summer. If so, we could be moving in early 2023. Although there is still lots of planning to do, we are very excited to enter a new chapter, and better support the community of Northern Bruce Peninsula.
