S-4.1.1 - Educational Childcare Act

Full text
16.1. The Minister may, in exceptional circumstances and temporarily, where a permit holder ceases operations in one or more facilities or is about to do so, authorize a childcare centre permit applicant or permit holder to maintain the provision of childcare services to the children who would otherwise not have any, at the address of the facility appearing on the permit of the holder ceasing operations or at any other address determined by the Minister.
Where no childcare centre permit applicant or permit holder is able to ensure that services are maintained to the Minister’s satisfaction, the authorization may be granted to a day care permit applicant or permit holder.
Where the Minister authorizes a permit applicant, the Minister issues a temporary permit to the applicant for the purposes of this section.
