I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Samantha was dishonest with us about offering us her full time infant spot. She informed us that it would be ours and then six weeks later she gave it to someone else. She seems nice. We were only with her for about four weeks. She was unable to have any honest/direct conversations with us in person, only texted. Said she was too “caring” to be direct to confirm that we wanted the spot. If you need reliable childcare and honesty, I’d keep looking.

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.
