I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Just a PSA for any parents taking your kids to TPFK daycare, please don’t. It didn’t use to be so bad but ever since Joe took over it’s been the absolute worst daycare experience. They will hire anyone usually a bunch of teenagers with no experience and they obviously don’t do background checks because a girl who used to work there had got fired from her previous job for stealing pain pills. It is unacceptable how that place is being ran. There’s no standards within the employees, no communication, and although there are a few ladies there who are great, it’s not enough to make it a decent place. When your child’s teacher is calling you because all of her kids are so out of control and she can’t get them to listen ( a bunch of 3 year olds) and telling me their short staffed and she gets no help, asking me to come pick my kid up. That’s not okay. Nobody there knows how to redirect child behavior or handle situations like they should. It’s honestly ridiculous

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.
