I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This daycare has the worst employees for a child care facility that I have ever seen. The owner, Heather is seen at bars every night passed out drunk and trying to fight people. I strongly advise against this daycare.

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?
