Stay away!!! Martha is very difficult, violates regulations, and should not be in business any longer. Would not recommend.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Martha is terribly difficult to work with and has unsafe practices. She does the bare minimum when it comes to childcare, does not focus her attention on the kids, and does not have their best interest in mind. We had a very difficult experience there with her and would not recommend at all.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Martha is great with the kids, very reliable, organized, clean. We were happy sending our 4 month old there, especially since there were only 3 other kids. She was always well fed and well taken care of.
That said, Martha is a difficult person to work with. She is not flexible and complains about a lot about little things. She also seems tired. So after 6 months our daughter is at another daycare.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
