Awful place! Don't take your kids there unless you want them yelled at because "they are crying and it's annoying". The director also likes to cuss infront of the kids. If you are not there favorite They will treat you like trash. They don't help any kids who show signs and they will try to kick them out.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This is the worst daycare ever! They gave my 4 month old another child’s pacifier, diapers (which sent him to the hospital), and formula. They kicked my kids out without a notice because they got upset I turned them into state. It was unprofessional for them to do that. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone even if it was the last daycare on Earth!

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.
