The former director of a daycare centre who stole thousands of dollars from it, is asking a judge not to give her a criminal record.
Kimberley MacLeod, 45, of Breadalbane appeared for a sentencing hearing Wednesday in P.E.I. Supreme Court in Charlottetown, having already pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000 from the Hunter River Early Learning Centre.
Court heard MacLeod failed to deposit cash payments from parents into the centre s bank account, totalling $16,305.75.
Defence lawyer Conor Mullin told court Wednesday that MacLeod did not have the proper money skills to handle the centre s finances.
