Alberta Association of Child Care Operators

The Government of Alberta has announced that all child care programs and out of school care programs will be able to operate full time during the week of January 4-8, 2021! This will hopefully ease pressure on parents during that week of online learning for K-6 children. The Government has also indicated that further financial supports are being planned for the child care sector. We look forward to hearing details in the new year.

The updated checklist will definitely make things easier and give parents more clarity on what to do if their child has a symptom!
