What to know about childcare in Etobicoke
Willowbrae Academy Etobicoke, Tiny Hoppers Park Lawn, and The Little Campus draw more reviews than any other centre in Etobicoke. Every rating here comes from Google and is printed next to the number of reviews behind it. A handful of five-star reviews is weak evidence, not proof of quality.
Of the 16 Etobicoke listings whose age ranges are on file, 5 accept infants. Among centres with enough reviews to judge, 8 sit at 4.5★ or higher on Google. We check every listing against Ontario's Ministry of Education licensing records. Where the province publishes inspection or enforcement data, it sits on the provider's own page.

Tips for choosing childcare in Etobicoke
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.

Do daycares in Etobicoke take the CWELCC subsidy?

How much does daycare cost in Etobicoke, ON?
Fees vary by age group and whether a centre is in CWELCC. Subsidised and $10-a-day spaces cost far less than market-rate care. Each MapleCub listing shows the provider's fee details where available so you can compare Etobicoke centres directly.
What should I look for when choosing a daycare in Etobicoke?
Check for an active provincial licence, staff-to-child ratios, program approach (play-based, Montessori, francophone), age-group coverage, CWELCC participation, and parent reviews. MapleCub lets you filter Etobicoke daycares by all of these.

Among Etobicoke centres with enough reviews to judge, Royal York Childcare Inc holds 5.0★ (32 reviews), Petite Luminaries Montessori holds 5.0★ (10 reviews), and Sunnylea Cooperative Nursery School holds 5.0★ (5 reviews). A small number of reviews is weak evidence — treat a handful of 5-star ratings as a starting point, not proof of quality.
Ask about spots near you
We email the centre and ask whether they have room for your child's age group. If they answer, we send you what they said. We don't hold live vacancy data, and centres aren't obliged to reply.
