8 licensed daycares in Lindsay, ON

Daycare & Childcare in Lindsay

Lindsay has five licensed child care programs and not one of them carries a Google review, so there is no rating anywhere on this page to compare. The five are CELC-Lindsay on Mary Street, CELC-Victoria Graduate on Weldon Road, Kids In Motion Child Care Centre on Lindsay Street, Lindsay Montessori Preschool on Eglington Street, and Where We Grow Childcare on Ridout Street. Two carry the CELC name. That's four operators across five sites. The Victoria Graduate location suggests a school-attached program rather than a standalone centre, though that is worth confirming. School-attached programs generally follow the board's calendar, so if you need care that runs through March break and the summer months, that is the thing to establish on the first call rather than the fifth.

What to know about childcare in Lindsay

Lindsay is the largest community in the City of Kawartha Lakes, a municipality that covers an enormous rural area with Lindsay as its service centre, which is why a town of roughly twenty thousand carries programs that families from well outside it also rely on. Demand arrives from well outside the town limits. That is worth knowing before you assume five programs for twenty thousand people means five programs for you.

Lindsay Montessori Preschool is the one listing named as a preschool, and preschool programs frequently run part days rather than the full working day, which is a distinction that catches parents out because the word daycare and the word preschool get used interchangeably in conversation and mean quite different things on a licence. Check the hours. Then the rate.

All five are licensed by Ontario's Ministry of Education and CWELCC covers enrolled programs, with the City of Kawartha Lakes administering fee subsidy for families who qualify. We hold no age data for any Lindsay listing. Peterborough is forty minutes east.
