About the Provider

Here at Smart Start #5 we offer an excellent curriculum that is developmentally appropriate in each age group. The staff are friendly and wonderful in their interactions with each and every child. Each teacher is qualified and continues taking classes and completing training each year to provide the quality your child deserves. We plan various field trips for our 4 year olds and exciting activities for every one to participate in. I work hard to ensure that our families meet each other and develop relationships within our community,

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.
