Two employees of a now-closed daycare centre in northeast Calgary face assault charges following a police investigation into suspected abuse.
The parents of a 12-month-old child reported marks they found on their child to police in December 2022.
According to police officials, the CPS child at risk response team’s investigation led to the cancellation of the license of Kidzee Early Learning and Childcare, located at 11100 11th St. N.E., due to “the serious risk to the safety and development of children.”
