Staff statements confirmed Staff Person #3 did not attend training on that date, and the training center verified that no Pediatric First Aid/CPR training was offered by the listed instructor on that date. This certificate was invalid. Therefore, Staff Person #3 does not have a valid Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate within 90 days of hire.   On July 30, 2025, it was determined that Staff Person #4 did not have a valid Pediatric First Aid/CPR certificate. The certificate on file contained a QR code; however, the image was too blurry to scan. When submitted to the training facility for verification, the response was "No Record Found," and the certificate was determined invalid.  Staff statements confirmed that Staff Person #4 did not attend training on that date August 22, 2023, and the training center verified the certificate was invalid.

Correction Required: The Department may deny, refuse to renew or revoke a certificate of compliance for fraud or deceit in obtaining or attempting to obtain a certificate of compliance.

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.
