I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Terrible daycare. Very unprofessional, she hits the children! There is always a new volunteer about every 4 months that works along with her. She does not follow work hours. She opens and closes when she feels like it. Not a reliable baby sitter. My daughter has been with her for about 4 years, I kept her there because she was cheap and close to my family and her school. She abuses the children physically and verbally. Not a good choice! Don't send your kids here

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

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.
