About the Provider

The basic philosophy at the Wooden Shoe is that our school provides a "child - centered" environment where the students are encouraged to participate in the selection of various play activities designed to meet their needs and interests at each age level. Social interaction and autonomy is encouraged while important concepts are learned through "hands-on" experiences. Our overall educational objective is to provide a positive self-concept through success-oriented program activities.

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.
