Very unresponsive. In order to get any information, a non-refundable deposit of $50 is required along with an application. They were very quick to cash my check but no one ever contacted me about my application, a tour, or even a brochure! Do they just collect deposits without actually contacting people as a way to make a profit?? I've called them several times and no one has called me back. If this is a reflection of their child care quality, then perhaps it's a good thing I'm not placing my child there. I just wanted to save some other moms out there $50 because it's a very unprofessional policy that does not guarantee placement, much less a phone call.

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.
