Hundreds of families in Maple Ridge, B.C., will be scrambling Monday to find care for their young children after a daycare and child development centre were flooded Friday during a severe storm. The Start Smart Child Care Centre serves about 200 families who rely on it for infant care, daycare, preschool and before- and after-school care. The adjoining Ridge Meadows Child Development Centre offers early intervention services to about 400 families. Salisbury's child development centre offers early intervention services — such as occupational therapy, speech and language services, and physiotherapy — to about 400 families in the area. Both the daycare and the child development centre are trying to find a suitable spaces where they can operate until repairs are complete.
