The non-profit organization, which has a volunteer community board of directors, is currently housed in two buildings at 83 and 79 Main St. N., Georgetown, but due to building issues the childcare facility was recently asked by the landlord to vacate the location at 79 Main St. N. The Town of Halton Hills municipal law enforcement officer Ron Stein said in early July he inspected the building and found several property standard violations. Stein said he attempted to work with the building owner to "create a reasonable time to correct the repairs," and some were done. Stein said the violations that have not been corrected are open electrical plugs, uneven floors in the basement, no hot water and some shingles in bad repair. The childcare facility has been asked to leave the building by Sept. 30. As a result, they were looking for a temporary location for the up to 16 children who attend the facility at 79 Main St. N, but executive director of Moore Place Betty Read said fortunately on Tuesday they received Ministry approval to temporarily house those children at their other location. "It's helped somewhat. But this isn't an ideal situation," said Read, stressing that the extra children in the one building will be a tight fit. They have been looking for a location for some time, but now it's even more crucial Moore Place find a new home. "We have done everything possible to find an alternate location where we can better serve the children of Georgetown," said Read.
