No one was hurt after a car crashed into the front of a Kelowna daycare centre on Friday morning.
The front windows of Little Owl Academy were shattered when it appeared that a black Hyundai failed to stop in time and hit the front of the small business, driving over a sidewalk in the process.
The daycare is located in a strip mall in the Glenmore neighbourhood.
Ice could be seen in the parking lot in front of the daycare.
Police responded to the scene but did not provide any information about the incident. Police tape could be seen attached from the front of the daycare to the black Hyundai.

Following the crash, Little Owl Academy appeared to close its doors for the day.
“Due to an emergency, we unfortunately have to cancel our junior kindergarten for today,” a sign posted at the daycare read.
“We will keep you posted as to whether or not our program will resume Monday morning.”

Local resident Jason Pace works near the daycare and has a son who attends Little Owl.
Pace said seeing emergency vehicles in the area got his attention.
“My heart sank,” Pace told Global News when he first saw the crash scene.
Pace said he was told a car accidentally ran into the daycare, but that everybody was OK.
