Dear Families,
 
On April 1-4th the Pemberton Children’s Centre will be closed so that our two old outdated and tired HVAC systems can be replaced.  We have struggled over the winter months to keep it operating and continue to provide fresh air and heat flowing within the building. We are taking advantage of this time to also give our wonderful educators their much-delayed 2020 Pro-D Day. The workshop they will be attending will be about Wellness.  We will be back to regular operation on April 5th   It was a difficult decision and with many working parts and different companies involved we chose this weekend as we hoped it cause the least disruption to you and your family.  We have posted below the plan for the work, your child may want to stop by and watch from a safe distance the companies do their work.
 
Thursday, April 1st
·          Team will arrive around 8am to decommission the existing units
·          Crane will arrive at around 10 to begin removing the old units and lift the new units into place as well as demolish the current structure.
Friday, April 2nd
·          Team will continue connecting piping, venting, electrical and controls
Saturday, April 3rd
·          Team will continue connecting piping, venting, electrical and controls
Sunday, April 4th
·          Team will be starting up the units and testing for proper operation, site clean up and ting up any loose ends

April 5th - We are open with two brand new air filtration and heating system.

On another note, and as I’m sure you are aware,  we are still continue to experience a lack of qualified ECE’s (a Province wide issue) therefore; we continue to ask for help with reducing number of children.  We continue to ask families to commit to reducing their child’s attendance in the centre in blocks of time (ex every Tuesday) or the month. Another option could be that perhaps you would like to have your child attend programs such as Nature Camp or Bike Camp but are concerned that if you do, you would loose your space.  By committing to temporarily withdrawing your child to enjoy these other learning opportunities, your child will continue to have a their space reserved for them for when these programs end, or you decide to return they will have their spot back.  Let us know as soon as possible if this is something you are interested in.

Thank you for your continued support,
Bobby Boyd
