Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a licensed daycare near me?
Use MapleCub to search province-licensed daycares by postal code, city, age group, and rating. Every provider listed has been verified against provincial licensing records. Filter by subsidy acceptance, curriculum type, and ratings to narrow results to your needs.
What does it mean for a daycare to be province-licensed?
Province-licensed daycares have passed background checks and meet minimum standards for staff-to-child ratios, health and safety, and physical space. Licensing requirements vary by province — look for the verified badge on each MapleCub listing to confirm a provider's current status.
Which daycares accept childcare subsidy assistance?
Many licensed centres participate in provincial childcare subsidy programs. Under Canada's CWELCC agreement, eligible families may pay as little as $10/day. Use the 'Accepts Subsidy' filter on MapleCub to see only providers that participate in your province's program.
What age groups do daycares typically accept?
Most full-service daycare centres accept infants (6 weeks–12 months), toddlers (1–2 years), preschoolers (3–4 years), and Pre-K (4–5 years). Some also offer after-school care for school-age children. Use the age filter on MapleCub to narrow results to your child's age group.
What is a good daycare rating on MapleCub?
MapleCub ratings are sourced from Google reviews. A rating of 4.5★ or above is considered excellent. NAEYC-accredited centres and daycares with provincial quality ratings often reflect the highest standards of care and education.
