Kilworth Children's Centre

Firstly,We enjoyed our time with the center, my children loved going to daycare and we had nothing but good things to say about most of the staff at the time.As a former member of the Board of Directors, a member of other not-for-profit organizations and a former Kilworth children's center parent, I felt the need to respond to a certain review.As this daycare is a not-for-profit it has Members, not Shareholders which a for-profit organization would. The Board of Directors is 100% voluntary, they receive no financial gain as it is against the law for a not-for-profit to give members any kind of personal financial incentive.As to the second part of that review; the daycare has an abuse policy that they enforce and I believe all staff employed at this daycare are required to report any signs of abuse to the authorities.The incident that is referred to is not the truth of that situation, it is an extreme exaggeration and was discovered to be untrue after the board had investigated or dealt with" as it was put

As a former employee I can say that all or most of the reviews for this centre have been rated by members of the Board of Directors (parents who receive a bonus annually from the centre) and staff. Some staff at this centre genuinely care for the kids and are good people all around, there are some however who I am shocked are still employed at the centre. While I worked there the woman next in charge while the Director or Assistant Director were not in the centre was an ECE that had a history of putting a laundry basket over an infant in the baby room because they would not go to sleep at nap time. Once I found out I questioned how this person was even still employed at the centre and was told that the Board of Directors and previous Director had dealt with the issue by not allowing that individual to be in the infant room what so ever. And yet she was still allowed in the infant room when staff was short.There are so many more issues I could expand on but this is the most important that I think the community should know about. What sickens me the most is that even though the board is made up of parents of the kids at the daycare they did little to act on this issue. I highly recommended you go to the new daycare down the road in Komoka if you can!
