This is by far one of the worst day cares around I highly recommend not using them. Your kids will thank you trust me.

Very poor. I stood there for 30 minutes on picture day watching them work. The director Norma was busy looking after her own kid and spoiling him while he ran around in the kitchen while the stove was on. And the assistant director was only paying attention to her own boy and when he would scream at her she would ignore him. He ran around hitting and yelling at the other kids. The only person I saw doing anything was the third woman. She was walking around and checking on them and if one actually had a problem she would talk to them.

Four years and counting. We love Happy Camper in Lexington. I love that the owner makes herself available to the parents and listens (and addresses) their concerns. A+++

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.
