Tips for choosing childcare in Leaside

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.
