Planning Context

How the daycare pages work

Ontario listings come from provincial licensed child care data and include city, region, facility type, program options, language, licence date, and years open where available.

Rankings are a stability signal based on licence longevity. They are not inspection scores, parent reviews, curriculum ratings, or waitlist recommendations.

759 non-Ontario records are included as limited-coverage directory entries. That does not mean they are fake; it means they are not yet backed by the same complete, standardized provincial licensing feed used for Ontario.
