About Canada Daycare Locator
Connecting Canadian families with quality licensed childcare since 2023
Our Mission
We believe every Canadian family deserves access to quality, affordable childcare. Our mission is to simplify the daycare search process by providing comprehensive, up-to-date information about licensed childcare centers and early learning programs across Ontario and British Columbia.
Our Impact
Our Story
Canada Daycare Locator was born from a simple observation: finding quality childcare in Canada was unnecessarily difficult. Parents spent countless hours searching through outdated websites, making phone calls, and driving around neighborhoods looking for the right daycare.
In 2023, we set out to change that. We built a comprehensive platform that brings together all licensed daycare centers and EarlyON programs in one searchable, user-friendly directory. Our team worked closely with provincial licensing bodies, municipalities, and childcare providers to ensure our information is accurate and up-to-date.
Today, we're proud to help thousands of Canadian families find the perfect childcare solution for their needs, while supporting daycare providers in reaching more families in their communities.
