Sources have confirmed that the education ministry has recently suspended two of its staff members amid investigation into lack of action prompted by a toddler’s death at an unlicensed Vaughan daycare. In a report published by Toronto Star, it was mentioned that unnamed employees were suspended due to failure in following up on complaints of overcrowding at an unlicensed home-based day care center where the two-year-old boy died on July 8.
Previously the ministry of education mentioned that its staff had acted upon the complaint submitted last November and issued a warning to the daycare on Yellowood Circle, near Highway 407 and Dufferin Street. However, later the ministry confessed that it has come to find out that two more complaints were logged regarding excessive number of children at the daycare in October and December, in response to which no follow ups took place. The ministry claims that it held an investigation that concluded that two staff members were responsible for mishandling the complaints.
The province’s ombudsman, Andre Marin, has also announced on Monday that he will conduct his own investigation into the monitoring of unlicensed daycares in the ministry. According to rules, the ministry is compelled to visit unlicensed daycare centers in a minimum of five working days of which complaints have been filed of hosting too many children. Additionally, the Day Nurseries Act implies that only five kids aged below 10 are allowed at any unlicensed day care center. However, reports show that there were as many as 27 children in the house at the time of child’s death.
