I have toured this provider's facility, but have not used its services

Lovely owner, she ensures the kids are behaving and I can tell she loves what she is doing!

This place is a death trap for children. Overcrowded, junk laying around EVERYWHERE. toddlers and infants sitting trapped in little seats screaming while the lady just ignored them. ALSO THERE WERE AT LEAST 20+ CHILDREN IN THIS HOUSE WITH NEARLY NO ROOM TO PLAY SAFELY

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.
