WATCH: Executive director of the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, Andrea Calver, appears on The Morning Show to discuss what parents should look for in a good daycare.
TORONTO – The parents of a two-year-old girl who died at an unlicensed Vaughan home daycare plan to sue the province and daycare operator for $3.5 million.
A media release indicates the family will release details of the lawsuit during a press conference at the law offices of McLeish Orlando LLP Thursday morning.
Eva Ravikovich was found dead at the daycare on July 8. The cause of death is still being investigated by the coroner’s office.
In the past, the daycare was temporarily shut down for several health and safety infractions.
Education officials have admitted that they failed to follow up on two of three complaints lodged against the daycare.
Ontario’s ombudsman said last month he’ll investigate whether the government is doing enough to protect children in unlicensed daycares.
Meanwhile, a fundraising campaign has been set up for the family.
