About the Provider

Advertisement
At the Child Development Center, children participate in developmentally appropriate activities, as prescribed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. These experiences are designed to promote the most important accomplishments of the early years – helping the child to feel competent, building a healthy sense of self-esteem, and encouraging enthusiasm toward school and learning. Developmentally appropriate practices are based on knowledge of child development and children’s changing needs as they grow. The school’s educators adhere to the philosophy that young children must be psychologically, socially, and physically prepared before they can be expected to achieve academically. Our aim is to guide each child in the development of self-esteem, confidence, and a positive self-identity.

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.
