On 1 July at 1pm the parents and caregivers of the children at Annerley Community Kids received an email to say that our beloved daycare would be closing its doors on the July 15. We have been given two weeks to find our children a new daycare. If you are a parent or caregiver you will know how difficult it is to find your child a space.  

Today, we have contacted other local daycares who are full. We are stressed and heartbroken. We are working families and if we cannot find our children an alternative.... we have no idea what we are going to do. 

The daycare has been part of the community for more than 25 years and is a safe and fun place for our children. The daycare holds a special place in our hearts and in the community. We have been told that despite numerous efforts from the daycare the landlord would not renew the lease. We are also devastated for the educators who we consider to be part of our community. We are angry at G8 for poorly managing this situation. 

Please help us to stop this from happening and keep our community day care open. We want as many people to sign this so we can go to the landlord and the media to keep the doors open. Or at least give families enough time to find an alternative.
