If I could give this place 0 stars I would. WORST place to send your kids!! The staff is extremely unprofessional and do not care at all about the kids. This place hires unexperienced people with disgusting attitudes. Its obvious that those hired are only hired because they attend the church. You can't even complain to the director because they're related to the bishop. This just shows that nobody is qualified to run this facility.

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

No curriculum at all. The teachers where not friendly always yelling especially purple. I wouldn't recommend especially for the price. Not worth it

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

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.
