Licensed Daycares in Smiths Falls, ON

Daycare & Childcare in Smiths Falls

Choice is thin here. MapleCub lists seven licensed programs in Smiths Falls, five of them centres and two home-based, and of those seven only three carry enough Google reviews to be readable at all, averaging 3.83 where rated Ontario listings average 4.46. Three data points. That gap is a reason to book three tours, not a verdict on the town, and Lanark County runs fee subsidy for everyone here regardless of which one you land in.

What to know about childcare in Smiths Falls

Rideau Child Care Centre on Gould Street is the best-reviewed of the three at 4.2 across five reviews, The Child Development Centre at 4 Ross Street shows 4.3 on three, and the town-operated Smiths Falls Child Development Centre on Thurber Street sits at 3.0 on four, which is nowhere near enough to condemn a programme that serves local families every working day. Go and look at all three. Bring your child.

Two of the seven are home-based. Natural Connections Childcare is on Pearl Street and Children's Resources on Wheels operates from 4 Ross Street. Home care usually runs different hours and a different ratio than a centre does, and in a town this size it's frequently where the infant space actually is, so it deserves a call even if you had a centre in mind.

None of the seven carry age-band data in our records, which is a gap in the Ontario registry feed rather than a statement about what these programmes offer, so please don't read it as a shortage of infant or toddler care. All seven are licensed. CWELCC pricing applies wherever the operator has enrolled. Nursery Rhyme is on Elmsley Street and Apple Seeds Preschool runs from Highway 15 just outside town, while Perth and Ottawa are the nearest markets with any real depth.
