Day care denied licence renewalFor more on child abuse see my article Christianity Is Child Abuse. Also see my articles here and at Defend Public Day CareA northeast Calgary day care must close its doors in 30 days after reports of corporal punishment and restraining children in their beds.
The owner of Creative Play Daycare said he will appeal the ruling and issued a statement to parents saying "we do love your children," and "we need you now."
On Monday, Child and Family Services notified day-care owner Jeff Dever and the facility's director, his wife Eva, that their licence would not be renewed on Feb. 10.
The decision followed a month-long investigation into complaints about the centre, said Blair Riddle, communications manager for the Calgary and Area Child and Family Services Authority.
While Riddle couldn't discuss specifics of the infractions, he said there was inappropriate physical discipline, inappropriate child restraints and an insufficient staff-to-child ratio at the centre.
"You can't use corporal punishment, plain and simple," he said Monday, adding he was not aware of any physical injury to the children.
Riddle said cases of the department refusing to renew licences are "quite rare."
In August last year, Child and Family Services did not renew the licence of the Berkshire Christian Daycare after repeated violations of provincial regulations.
In February of 2004, the licence for Treehouse Child Development Centre was cancelled after children were sent outside for a fire drill without shoes in -30 C weather.
Investigators said the drill was a form of punishment.

Residential schools were religious schools run by Christian Churches of various denominations favoured by both the Conservative and Liberal governments of the day. With the implict and explicit responsibility of assimilating First Nations peoples into White Franco-Anglo culture.
Your comparisson is like apples and oranges. So you would deny childcare to families which do not have a choice but to have both parents work.
As for the Liberal plan who was talking about that, the NDP plan will give you a tax credit, more than the Conservatives and ensure actual daycare spaces are created.
As for indoctrination why stop at daycare, why not just homeschool your kids too. That will keep them free of the big bad state.
It is quite simple to start a daycare. If you are loking for a daycare then get all of the facts before you place your most cherised item in the hands of another.
