KCDC is a great place!  My son just turned 3 and has already learned several numbers, letters and sounds.  My daughter, now 9, only recalls fond memories of her time their before and after preschool.  They both love Miss Holly, as do we :)  She is the director of the daycare and a wonderful, caring person that I trust with my children!  All of the other daycare workers are exceptionally friendly and take the time to get to know the children.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

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.
