I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Karen seems nice on the outside and will say all the right things, until you question her about anything she does. She is quick to get angry (even at me, a parent) and yells, which I have witnessed her doing to a child. It is also fairly dirty and the TV/movies was almost always on at drop off/pick up. I wouldn't recommend even though her price is reasonable. You're paying for basically food and your child to watch TV.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

To our horror my son and daughter were physically and mentally abused, not to mention verbally abused by Karen. Karen has a military core background as far as her husband serving our country. Karen made my children fall in line at a simple daycare. Conditioning and mental abuse at its finest. Do not take your children to this lady.....

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.
