A Calgary daycare was closed Wednesday afternoon after it learned that a child who attends the facility tested positive for E. coli.

Fueling Brains Academy confirmed to parents in a statement that a one-year-old child at the West 85th campus had tested positive for E. coli.

The daycare said there is no evidence to suggest this most recent case originated at the facility or that it has spread.

“However, out of an abundance of caution, we voluntarily closed the West 85th campus for the remainder of the week to allow for deep cleaning and to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff,” the academy said.

“We promptly reached out to Alberta Health Services and are waiting for further guidance from them.”

In a statement to Global News, AHS spokesperson Kerry Williamson said the health network is aware of one suspected case of E.coli in a child who attends a daycare in Calgary.

In September 2023, an E. coli outbreak was declared for six Fueling Brains locations, including West 85th, along with five additional sites that share a central kitchen.
