What to know about childcare in Courtenay
Among the most-reviewed centres in Courtenay are A Fun Place To Grow, Comox Valley Aboriginal Head Start, and Little Llama Montessori Academy. 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.
Of the 43 Courtenay listings, 3 accept infants, and 20 are licensed home-based (family) daycares. 3 hold 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.
