There’s no place like home. Preschools and child development centers are great, but there’s something extra
cozy about a real house where a real family lives and loves.
There are 51 family child care providers and group home daycares in ZIP Code
50501.
Give them a look and see if anything sounds good. We know this isn’t a minor decision, so take your time. Be
sure to check out the reviews and past inspection information on the provider listing, and if you have any
past experience with a provider, please leave an honest review to help other parents in a similar situation.
If you find something that seems promising, you’ll want to interview them to make sure they really are right
for you. Don’t rush into that conversation unprepared.
This handy infographic will help you ask
the right questions to find the best daycare for your family.
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.
