Alberta Parents Safety childcare daycare

Imagine this: You drop your little one off at daycare, trusting that they're cared for by professionals. But what if that trust is shaken?

Here’s the exciting part: Staying informed about your daycare’s licensing status is crucial! Recently, one daycare in Alberta was put on a probationary license due to significant safety concerns. This means they’re being closely monitored until they can prove they’re meeting safety standards.

When it comes to your child's safety, you deserve to know these key points:

  • Education and Childcare monitors programs to ensure compliance.
  • Licenses can be suspended or probated if standards aren’t met.
  • Parents must be notified if their daycare is on probation.

Get this: If the childcare program can’t get back on track during the probation, their license can expire without reinstatement. That’s where your voice matters. If you have concerns, you can call Child Care Connect at 1-844-644-5165. You won't just be helping your family; you'll be protecting others, too!

Looking for alternatives? The Child Care Lookup Tool can help you find licensed programs nearby. Remember, most childcare providers focus on keeping your children safe and happy—they're just as invested in your child as you are.

So, what does this mean for you? By staying informed and asking questions, you’re taking a vital step towards securing a safer environment for your child. Let’s rally around our kids and support each other on this journey!
