NiGiGooSiWiiGiWaam Child Care Centre

Mar 11, 2021

NiGiGooSiWiiGiWaam Child Care Centre has been in operation since 1998.

1998 to 2018 we were located at 423 U-Drive, since then our new location has been newly built due to the lack of space and accommodations for our children attending our NiGiGooSiWiiGiWaam Child Care Centre.
 
Within our new space we are able to offer more programming and more parent events.
