About the Provider

Advertisement
We understand that you want to make the best choice for your child and your family. As parents ourselves, many of us at Play Groups have made these important decisions for our own children. The majority of the professionals on our teaching staff, including our own Director, chose Play Groups for their children's early childhood education. These children - who now range from elementary-age children to postgraduate students to adults - are all pursuing happy, successful and satisfying lives today. Over the decades literally thousands of families in our community have benefited by sending their children through our school. As each new child enters our doors, our time-honored tradition strengthens, and the network of Play Groups graduates continues to grow.

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.
