'ROVERS CAREGIVER PROGRAM SCRAPPED' SAY LABOUR GOVERNMENT


The roving caregivers program is an informal early childhood development initiative that seeks to reach children from birth to 3 years of age who do not have access to any formal childhood development initiative. According to a source, at least 35 persons will be sent home as a result of the Saint Lucian Labour Party government's decision to suspend the program. The initiative served 402 families and 429 children across the nation where there is inadequate access to early childhood development facilities. In an interview with a former education minister, he lamented the importance of such initiative and has asked the government to rethink this detrimental decision it has taken.   This latest decision further highlights the policies of this current administration, which seem to be destroying anyone or anything in its path.
