Tofield Childcare Society daycare closing end of June – families moving out of town to find employment

The Tofield Childcare Society will be closing its doors at the end of June due to financial difficulties.

“It’s done the 30th of June,” said daycare manager Twyla Horne, stating the board “looked at all their options” before making the decision.

The society simply doesn’t have enough children to make the daycare viable, said Horne. Right now, there is one full-time child to care for plus nine part-time children or drop-ins.

The daycare lost up to 10 families with children using their services when parents had to move away to find employment.
