I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I was a terrified first timer when I entered my son into daycare but the friendly staff did a great job of making the transition easy for me. They sent me photo updates of him until I was comfortable. The staff is always friendly and very caring. I’m very happy my friend recommended them to me.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This daycare is amazing. They are very accomadating, caring and wonderful with my children. They are not just my childrens "teachers" or "daycare emoloyees" they are family. Julie the director is absolutely a top notch woman. As well as Goldie, Samantha, Elizabeth, Jackie, Tanya, Raclelle and many more of the caring women who work there. (So many more I could name) I will and have recommended this daycare and will continue to do so.

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.
