I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This facility does not comply with child to teacher ratios. They have been cited by the state multiple times and make no effort to correct this. You don’t have to take my word for it. It’s public knowledge on the state’s website. See website linked below.

Also, the post about the child being yanked by his ankle was investigated AND VERIFIED by the state inspector on the above website in May. So there’s no disputing that claim.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I witnessed an incident of child abuse on Wednesday, November 6, 2019 and have reported it to the proper authorities. My child no longer attends this daycare.

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.
