I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My babygirl has been here since I went back to work 8 weeks after having her in July of 2019 and she is so loved and cared for at YDA! We have loved every one of her teachers. I have never had to worry about her. This mommy is so thankful for YDA & STAFF!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My kids were 2 1/2 and 13 months when started they here and had never been to daycare. Due to the amazing staff the transition was easy for them and they are excited to go everyday. The staff keeps everything so clean and parents well informed. I’m so proud to be part of YDA

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.
