Local News News Child Care Board closing day nurseries Barbados Today31/03/20200269 views All government day nurseries, under the auspices of the Child Care Board (CCB), will close their doors, effective tomorrow, Wednesday, April 1. Director of the CCB, Joan Crawford, said that due to a lack of demand for the Day Care Services of the Child Care Board, they regrettably had to make the decision to close the nurseries, temporarily. She added, however, that the Board would continue to provide a place of safety for all children, and in that regard reminded parents and guardians not to leave their children unattended or in harm’s way. Ms. Crawford said the CCB would make special arrangements for parents involved in the essential services who find themselves in need of such day care services. Those parents are asked to call 535-2800 during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. a day ahead of time, so that arrangements could be made for the following day. Additionally, she pointed out that the guidelines for admission to a day care centre remained the same. (MR/BGIS)
