Lewis's centre is one of several across Ontario to close their doors for varying lengths of time recently due to staffing shortages. She is able to reopen the school-aged program next week, but is hoping she can reopen the room for younger kids on Nov. 1. As part of that deal between Ontario and the federal government, the province is establishing an $18-an-hour wage floor for registered early childhood educators and $20 for RECE supervisors.
