 Several complaints of staff spanking children. Children are spoken to harshly, made fun of, and popped on occasion. Many “coverups” happen in this daycare due to it being in a church. Current director keeps getting away with her poor management due to her being a church member. Do not trust!

Parents should know the majority of the preschool "teachers" and staff do NOT have their childcare credentials! The pre-k teachers have no degrees! Please do your research. This is against state guidelines!

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.
