I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This director Cassandra is money hungry she isn't in this business for the love of kids,who can actually trust a place like this, she is wrapped around what the state pays for the kids and when school is out you cant relay on the provider to be open so you can still work... she will close and leave you to pay a babysitter then turn around and charge you for days she closed the center. She also isnt legal to have kids under 5, she even breaks the law to get ccr payments just to complain to the parents.

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.
