Is YOUR ABC Centre staying open?

[Visitor7]

The ABC centre down the road from Nina's daycare (which isn't ABC) isn't on the list. Earlier in the week they started organising transfers for the kids as of January 09, most of which are going to Nina's daycare.

Westy. Don't panic just yet though. My Director told me they haven't made a final decision to close the other centres as yet - they're still being reviewed and may remain open. We were also told that they would be moving some of the kids from other centres over to ours... Keeping my fingers crossed your centre will stay open!

Oh bummer to those who's CCC isnt on the list. Might be an idea to just put your kids names on waiting lists for other centres in the area just incase?

MG...Thanks darl, i'm happy for my son to go to one of our other local centres (abc) as they are all new centres it is for this reason that i dont think ours will close but their is a chance it will as it is on a leased premise.

Where are you?

A guy at work's DP is at an ABC centre as a teacher and they have been told they will be paid into next year and should be OK but everyone has lost any leave or holiday pay they had accrued.

I had a quick look at the list - funny, it seems the ones tat are staying open are (majority) in the areas where they charge more.

I really feel for everyone affected by this, and for the workers to loose their entitlements....
