As of April 1st 2009, the Sacred Heart School Board will be taking over responsibility of the local daycare center in The Bottom. Since October 1st 2008, the Island Government of Saba has been responsible for financial restructuring and providing sound financial management to the Laura Linzey Daycare Center.
Commissioner of Education, Chris Johnson told GIS that he is satisfied with the fact that this move will bring the Daycare center under the guidance of the Education Department. This will legitimize the center and bring it within the education structure.
Johnson went on to explain that, "at this time of transition it is very important that all education facilities receive proper supervision and management in order to further develop Education as a pillar in our society"
Being a legitimate and well-functioning Board, the Sacred Heart School Board will be able to provide effective management and daily operations of the Daycare Center. President of the Sacred Heart School Board, Lynn Johnson, welcomed Director of the Daycare, Margaret Childs, and both have made it clear that they look forward to working together in the near future.
The Sacred Heart School Board made it officially known that the daycare center will now be called the "Sacred Heart Early Childhood Center". The structure in which the center is housed will still be referred to as the Laura Linzey building.
