I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The unsafe daycare has done it again!!!please review the complaints! Parents think about if your children is attending this center and started acting different at home! I should saw the sign but I didn't. I should move my children along time ago. It only a matter of time before a child is hurt.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Poor communication, poor customer services and rude to parents, not able to handle or manage children with special needs, teachers and kids moved from room to room, no stability and lack routine

My son would come home and say "my teacher is mean...my teacher doesn't like me..." Etc. he would cry every morning and beg not to have to go and he is a very social child that enjoys being with friends and has never complained Like that about any other center. We have removed him from the center.

I would NEVER recommend this facility to anyone EVER

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.
