South Surrey, White Rock childcare operators frustrated by subsidy delays
A South Surrey daycare operator says “huge problems” with a government initiative lauded to make licensed child care more affordable for B.C. families pushed her to the brink of bankruptcy.
Tuesday , she expressed relief at learning this week that everything was finally moving forward – with $27,000 of the funds owed to soon be deposited – but said she remains concerned for other operators who may not have been able to hang on. The delay in Mueggenburg’s case related to “outstanding information” on her application; information Mueggenburg just learned – despite multiple, hours-long waits in the CCFRI telephone helpline queue – dates back to 2021.
Operating a total of 48 spaces – 40 in White Rock and another eight spaces in South Surrey at her Baby Acorns location – it’s “a significant amount of money… that I’m subsidizing right now,” she said.Halford, who is the wife of Surrey-White Rock Liberal MLA Trevor Halford, also named processing delays as among key issues.
