A Calgary daycare has had its licensing changed over “significant safety concerns” with the supervision of younger children, the province said Friday.

A news release says Zebra Crossing Academy, located in Mahogany, has been placed on a probationary licence after “a number” of non-compliances with provincial standards.

According to the release, the province has also temporarily reduced the program’s licensed capacity and revoked its ability to care for children under three.
