Janice McTighe, Executive Director
Renfrew Educational Services exists today because of the vision of a very special person – Janice McTighe. This extraordinary woman wanted to create a place where ALL children could learn and grow in a safe and happy environment, allowing them to become the best they could be, with no barriers placed in their paths.
For over thirty years, Janice has been the guide, leader and inspiration for the children, families and staff who have been privileged to be associated with Renfrew. From her start in 1972 as the part-time coordinator of the Renfrew District Kindergarten through her appointment as executive director of Renfrew Early Childhood Services in 1990 to her position today at the helm of this thriving organization, she has nurtured the growth of the innovative programs and services that define Renfrew.
In June 2010, the Board of Directors, in honour of Janice's work and commitment to children, made the decision to rename Renfrew's main school location the "Janice McTighe Centre".
Janice’s forward thinking and personal example of caring and commitment continue to ensure that Renfrew will help another generation of kids to soar as we move into our next 30 years with pride in our past and a vision for our future.
