Licensed Preschool in Lincoln, ON

Preschool in Lincoln

Lincoln Day Care Centre and Oakland Academy Lincoln 2 are the two programs here licensed for infants under twelve months, out of five listings total. That's the number to hold onto. Oakland Academy runs two of the five, both at 2398 Lincoln Road, with the second site taking the infants and preschoolers and the first taking preschool and school age, and Lincoln Day Care Centre shares its Maple Leaf Drive address with the Lincoln After School Program, so what looks like five separate places is really three operators across three addresses.

What to know about childcare in Lincoln

Three, not five. The fifth is CURIOUS KIDS Child Care on Lincoln Road, licensed for preschool and school age.

Lincoln sits just southeast of Fredericton on the Saint John River and functions as a commuter community, which changes what the count means. If nothing here has room, Fredericton is ten minutes away with many times the capacity, so a Lincoln family is never limited to these five the way a family in a genuinely remote New Brunswick village would be. That said, being close to a city cuts both ways, because programs in commuter communities often fill with families who work in town and want pickup near home.

No Lincoln listing carries Google reviews. New Brunswick regulates these programs through the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, and Designated Early Learning Centres charge under the provincial Parent Fee Grid rather than setting their own daily rate. Ask whether each one is designated. It's the single question that most changes what you'll pay.
