The Alberta government says it has revoked the licence of an Edmonton daycare for risking the health and safety of children.
The province didn’t provide specific details of how children attending Waverley Day Care were being put at risk, but says the risk was great enough to close the daycare immediately.
Waverley Day Care was operating on a probationary licence that was set to expire on Oct. 31, but the facility was shut down this week.
The province says the closing affects 56 child care spaces.
Waverley Day Care was the second Edmonton child care centre to be shut down by the province in as many days.
Willowbrae Academy West Point Centre was closed for leaving kids unsupervised numerous times.
