by The province is working with a Sydney child-care centre to offer evening, weekend and overnight child-care for healthcare workers at the Regional Hospital.
The demonstration project will be at Health Park Early Learning Centre near the hospital, where Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Becky Druhan was on hand for today’s announcement.
The Education Department says, when the project launches, the learning centre will be able to offer 12 spaces for overnight care and run at a full capacity of 66 spaces on weekends and for extended hours on weekdays.
The Department says the project will launch this fall when the appropriate policies, procedures and staff are in place and it will be evaluated after six months.
