About the Provider

Advertisement
The primary goal of Great Expectations is to provide a safe and nurturing, yet challenging environment where children are encouraged to create, explore, and discover in a ‘hands on’ manner. Each child is regarded as an individual with unique ideas, talents, and capabilities. The development of a positive self-concept is also of prime importance, since feeling good about oneself has a direct effect on the skill-building and socialization process.

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.
