As a result of a number of non-compliances, the daycare and out-of-school program was placed on a probationary licence, which expired July 31, 2024.

Since the probationary license was issued, Jobs, Economy and Trade has worked with the program through enhanced monitoring to support them in returning to compliance. Despite increased support, the child-care program was unable to return to compliance and has therefore been ordered to cease operations. This will impact 35 children and 40 total child-care spaces.

Parents affected by the closure of the program have been notified. Jobs, Economy and Trade will continue to provide support, information and assistance to families looking for alternative child-care options.

Anyone with concerns about a child-care program in their community or need to report an incident, is encouraged to call Child Care Connect toll free at 1-844-644-5165.
