The operator of a daycare in Maple Ridge has been charged with sex-related offences, but the daycare remains open.
Edgar Hernandez faces charges of sexual interference and sexual assault, and is accused of touching a young girl inappropriately.
A spokesman with the Fraser Health Authority, which licensed the Dragonfly Daycare, says the facility remains open.
Roy Thorpe-Dorward says officials visited the daycare and put a plan in place to ensure the accused is not there when children are present.
“They conduct follow-up scheduled visits to ensure that the health and safety plan is being followed and they’ve been in full compliance.”
The daycare runs out of the operator’s home, and is licensed to care for up to seven children.
