I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Please do not send your child here. I had my 5 month old child at this Sunshine House for three days and decided to pull her out. She got diaper rash on the first day, which she has only had a couple of times. By day two, it had gotten much worse. We told the director on day three to apply the Butt Paste we provided at every diaper change, and to change her every hour unless she was sleeping. They only applied it once at the end of the day, and it also appeared they applied another ointment underneath as it was shiny. She had open sores by the end of the day.
On day one my child had only eaten 1.5 bottles, which for an 8 hour period is far less than she normally eats. She also started having several BM’s a day, which she usually only has one a day. We believe they were feeding her expired milk.
I had no way of communicating to the workers directly caring for her. Everything is filtered through the director, including the app messaging.

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.
