What to know about childcare in Chemainus
Among the most-reviewed centres in Chemainus is Cherry Tree Child Care Centre. Ratings on MapleCub come from Google and are shown with their review counts — a small number of reviews is weak evidence, so we don't treat a handful of five-star reviews as proof of quality.
1 of the 5 listings is a licensed home-based (family) daycare. 1 holds a Google rating of 4.5★ or higher among centres with enough reviews to judge. Every listing is checked against British Columbia's Ministry of Education and Child Care licensing records, and where the province publishes inspection or enforcement data, it appears directly on the provider's page.

Tips for choosing childcare in Chemainus
Verify Licensing
Confirm the centre holds a current provincial licence. A licence means the province checked baseline health, safety and staffing standards — it is a floor, not a ranking.
Read Parent Reviews
Reviews cover what an inspection report never will: what drop-off feels like, whether messages get answered, how long staff stay.
Ask About Curriculum
Ask what a Tuesday actually looks like. "Montessori" and "play-based" mean different things at different centres, so the daily schedule tells you more than the label does.
Consider Schedule Fit
Check the posted open and close times against your commute, not just your workday. Then ask what happens when you're late.
