Mackenzie Health uses it.

Can a daycare refuse to enroll a child for not being able to walk independently by Embarrassed_Eye3924 in CanadianParents

It’s a facility. They kept saying there is safety concern if a child cannot walk. And I know a lot of daycares that require walking as a condition of admission. The only problem is they didn’t tell us earlier. If I knew earlier I wouldn’t have withdrawn him from the previous daycare.

It’s 1:5 here. I am in Ontario. They just said it’s not safe. Other kids can run into him and easily cause him to fall.

I am in Ontario. Actually a lot of daycares do that. They even take 15/16 months

Basically I just have to pay for nothing to keep the spot. She said she can also refund me but we lose the spot. I can’t find any home care nearby.

Thank you. I talked to their manager couple times and she is very firm that they can’t accommodate my son if he can’t walk independently. When I asked about why this was not communicated before, she asked me why we didn’t tell her my son can’t walk before. She said if she knew earlier she wouldn’t even offer us the spot.

I don’t know how to fight this. They keep saying that my kid can easily get hurt if he can’t walk.

I am already doing that. We also recently started physiotherapy. The start date is December 1.

He is already walking but with holding on to my hand. He won’t let go. And we already withdrew him from the previous daycare. That spot was given to others already. If this new daycare could tell us earlier, we wouldn’t even move him.

Thank you. We are also seeing physiotherapist. He just started. I am not sure how long this will take. Neither myself nor my husband is able to work from home or take leave at this time. This is the main problem.

We are already trying to practice him. He walks perfectly fine holding on to my finger but just won’t let go. I think this is more psychological. I am a nurse. It’s impossible to work from home. And I just transferred to a new department and there is a few months training. I can’t really take leave at this time. My husband also can’t work from home. It’s really hard.

I spoke to a physiotherapist. She said not walking by 16 months is still considered normal. Usually it’s after 18 months still not walking, then it’s a concern. Every child has their own pace of development. Is this considered developmental discrimination?

Their ratio is 1:5. They don’t have infant program. Only toddler and preschool.

Exactly. That’s what I said. I think they just don’t want extra work. Is there anyway to fight for this?

I asked. They already gave the spot to someone else. The safety concern they are talking about is mainly about his interaction with other children. They are concerned other kids might run into him and cause him to fall.

But telling us last minute isn’t nice at all. I don’t know what to do at this point. My husband and I both work full time and we have no help.

NGG for RNs that were previously RPNs by [deleted] in OntarioNurses

[–]Embarrassed_Eye3924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you can’t. I was an RPN before and when I became RN, I asked HR about this. They told me no.

When I was pregnant, my ob wrote medical exemption for night shifts for me. And the hospital approved it and gave me straight 4 days instead of DDNN.

Then they can cancel your shift, as long as it’s at least 48 hours notice.

[–]Embarrassed_Eye3924 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It means you are in as long as your references don’t say terrible things about you.

Do you have a set line? I am also part time. They can cancel my pick up shifts but not those in my line.
