I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Honestly, horrible. Don’t take your child here unless you don’t care if they come home with bruises on their legs every week from roughly having their diaper changed, see the fear in their eyes when they look at their teachers or if you don’t mind having to stay quiet or else be gaslit by the tiny Godzilla Anna Messick. She alone is one of the absolute worst things about this daycare. She is rude, narcissistic, talks to parents like they’re stupid, and causes other employees to quit when they speak up about the mistreatment. Absolutely vile human being. So thankful I got my child out of this environment. Do not take your kids here.

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.
