Concerns about a shortage of daycare in the Burke Mountain area has prompted a local school to host a meeting next week for individuals interested in opening a family child care centre.
Leigh elementary school (1230 Soball St., Coquitlam) will host the information session on Thursday, June 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the school library.
Presenters will include representatives from Fraser Health, who will explain what's needed to obtain a community care facility licence for operators wishing to provide care to three or more children who are not related by blood or marriage.
