An Update on the Daycare
Many of you may have driven past the daycare recently and wondered what we are working on. We are currently making necessary changes to ensure our centre meets the requirements for natural light in our childcare spaces.
As with many construction projects in this building, once the walls were opened, we discovered additional damage and repairs that were not anticipated in the original work.
We are often asked why Oxbow Community Childcare Centre does so much fundraising. The honest answer is that we need to.
Our primary responsibility is to provide a safe, healthy and regulated environment for the children in our care. While we are grateful for the government funding we receive, that funding does not always cover the full cost of maintaining an older building, completing necessary repairs, meeting changing regulations and making improvements to our facility.
Our fundraising efforts help cover these additional costs. They allow us to address necessary repairs, maintain the building, purchase items the centre needs, and make improvements that benefit the children and staff.
Every dollar raised stays connected to the needs of our centre. Fundraising is not about having extras simply because we want them. It is an important part of helping us maintain a safe and sustainable childcare facility for the children and families in our community.
We appreciate the continued support of our families, community members and local businesses. Without that support, many of the improvements and necessary repairs to our facility would simply not be possible.
