I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Very disappointed with this day care on our second go round. Employees unfairly judged and treated my child like an outsider. They refused to adapt to his needs and work with AEA to give him the support he needed to be successful there. As a teacher, I believe in putting the needs of the children first. That is not what we experienced here. Zero stars, and please get out of child care if you aren’t willing to do what is best for kids!

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.
