Parent of a child who attended the defamed unlicensed daycare in Vaughan, Olga Kosogor, complained that she received only indication but now clear warning to move her son to a new daycare. Kosogor remembered that she was called by a Ministry of Education inspector last November, who posed to be investigating the daycare her son is attending for two past two years. But she claims that the inspector only had questions for her, but no answers. She mentioned that “they didn’t tell me what the complaint was about,” adding that “I don’t know if it was about number (of kids), food or cleanliness.”
Consequently, Kosogor chose to keep her son in the daycare, until a tragedy occurred on July 8, and a toddler passed away in the two-story brick home daycare. Speaking on the matter on Friday, Kosogor was shocked at a report which alleged that government keeps complaints about unlicensed daycares secret unless a Freedom of Information request is submitted. York Region Public Health has pointed out that any unlicensed daycares are legal only if they take care of not more than five kids under 10, whereas the Vaughan daycare had at least 35 kids signed up.
Kosogor mentioned that “I probably would have been looking for other daycares,” highlighting that “we should be able to see what’s happening, so nothing like this happens again.” The government authority responsible for child care, i.e. the Ministry of Education, is liable to conduct investigations into reports of unlicensed daycares having more number of kids looked after by a given operator.
