Findings: During the week of Sept 11-15, 2023, between 7:30 and 9 am on Monday there were 7 infant/toddlers and 10 preschool children with only 3 staff members. On Tuesday there were 8 infant/toddlers and 9 preschool children with the same three staff members. On Thursday there were 8 infant/toddlers and 10 preschoolers with the same staff members. This is too many children with only 3 staff members. When there are more than 6 infant/toddlers present, toddlers would need to be moved to a preschool classroom. A mixed age group that includes toddlers can have a group size up to 12 but must have two staff members.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

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.
