Licensed centres
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.
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.
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.

How much does daycare cost in Lindsay, ON?
Fees vary by age group and whether a centre is in CWELCC. Subsidised and $10-a-day spaces cost far less than market-rate care. Each MapleCub listing shows the provider's fee details where available so you can compare Lindsay centres directly.
What should I look for when choosing a daycare in Lindsay?
Check for an active provincial licence, staff-to-child ratios, program approach (play-based, Montessori, francophone), age-group coverage, CWELCC participation, and parent reviews. MapleCub lets you filter Lindsay daycares by all of these.
MapleCub isn't a waitlist. Signing up here doesn't hold a spot.
Ask about spots near you
We email the centre and ask whether they have room for your child's age group. If they answer, we send you what they said. We don't hold live vacancy data, and centres aren't obliged to reply.
