Inspection summary

PreSchool Canada Early Learning Centre has been inspected 2 times by Durham Region Health Department since December 12, 2024. The most recent inspection, on November 26, 2025, recorded 7 infractions.

None of the 2 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination and Food source, labelling and allergens.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 26, 2025. For example: Sleeping equipment cleaned and disinfected as required, stored in sanitary manner, and designated for each child

  • Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk

    Food and other products must come from approved sources, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when spoiled, expired or damaged. Labelling also matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 26, 2025. For example: Absorbent materials laundered/cleaned and disinfected/discarded weekly (e.g. slip covers, dress-up clothes, plush toys, puzzles, cardboard)

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 26, 2025. For example: Appropriate cleaning and disinfectant solutions easily accessible in each program room

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 26, 2025. For example: Toys, teaching materials, surfaces, equipment, and/or furniture maintained clean and in good repair

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on November 26, 2025. For example: Ensure all policies and procedures are up to date and available on site
