In a letter to Border parents, Good Start Learning Centre said the company would be temporarily suspending bus services until they understand fully what happened in Edmonton.
The service will complete Wednesday's services with additional checks in place.
"We are deeply saddened by this and have made the decision to temporarily suspend our bus drop off and pick up services for the rest of the week," the letter said.
"We have not made the decision lightly as we know that our bus service is often the only way that some children access our centre and/or local schools.
"This is not an easy decision for Goodstart to make, however we need to ensure our safety processes and procedures are the best they can be."
