I have used this provider for less than 6 months

I would not recommend this daycare to anyone! The morning. Girls are great but the ones that come in later neglect babies. I arrived to get my son around 430pm on April 4th my son had no pants on and no socks he was freezing. He was playing in a jumper thing I picked him up and he smelled so bad. I said something to the girls and they ignored me. I put his pants on and took him home. When I got home I took his pants off and undid his onesie he had on a clean diaper and not one I send with him they used another child's even though he had plenty. I took his onesie off and there was dried poop all over it. He had dried poop all over his back and sat in that for who knows how long!! He also had a red mark on his leg. The daycare said that he was changed at 4pm with a poop diaper but they missed it being all over him! They also said the red mark was from a chair he wasn't even sitting in when I got there so I don't believe that! They neglect kids and the girls only got a verbal warning! I moved daycares quick! I refuse to let incompetent people take care of my son! Beware!

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.
