I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I cannot say enough about the School. The teachers, the staff, the directors and owners are all wonderful people who will love your kids like you do! They are passionate about child care and education. My daughter has made so many strides in the last 6 months attending here, I don't think she would be as far along in her development. If you are looking for a high quality school to help prep your child for kindergarten, this is the school for you. If you are a working parent and need someone to care for your child while you're at work, you could not ask for a better group of people. We love First steps and it's going to be a sad day when our little one starts kindergarten and we say goodbye for the last time.

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.
