I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I simply love this place. I was very nervous about signing my son up for daycare, because he has asthma and allergies. When I toured and gave my concerns, my tourist put my mind at ease as she explained that she understood my concern because her children had been through the same thing but she assured me that he would be well taken care of. I am glad I took this step! All the staff are wonderful and genuinely caring!

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.
