Tottenham has eight licensed daycares. All eight are centres. Seven carry enough Google reviews to be worth reading, and the average across those seven is 4.57, which sits above the 4.46 that MapleCub calculates for Ontario as a whole from more than two thousand rated listings province-wide. Four of the eight rate at 4.5 or better. Active Child's Education Daycare has the deepest review base in town at 57, and Little Pandas Montessori holds a 5.0 across 27. Those are still small numbers, and in a town this size a dozen contented families can carry a rating well above where a hundred would put it, so the ranking is a starting point rather than a verdict.
What to know about childcare in Tottenham
Age data is thin here. None of the eight Tottenham listings carry a licensed age range in MapleCub's dataset, which means any claim about how many take infants would be invention rather than reporting, and Ontario runs roughly 82% unknown on that field across the whole province. Ask each centre directly.
Locomotion Day Care Centre accounts for two of the eight listings. The YMCA holds another. That is the usual shape of a small Ontario town: a handful of operators running several rooms under one name, a parent co-operative covering the preschool hours, and one or two independents, which makes the practical choice a good deal narrower than a count of eight suggests.
Tottenham sits inside New Tecumseth, so fee support runs through Simcoe County as the service system manager, and centres enrolled in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care agreement charge reduced fees for children under six. Enrolment is each operator's own decision. Confirm it before you sign anything.
Alliston is the usual fallback. Bradford West Gwillimbury works too. Both carry deeper listings than Tottenham and sit within a short drive, and families whose commute already runs south toward Newmarket tend to widen the search that way long before they give up on finding something local.

Tips for choosing childcare in Tottenham
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many licensed daycares are there in Tottenham?
Eight, all of them centres. MapleCub lists no licensed home child care in Tottenham itself.
Which Tottenham daycare has the most reviews?
Active Child's Education Daycare, with 57 Google reviews at 4.7. Little Pandas Montessori is next at 27.
Is infant care available in Tottenham?
None of the eight listings publish their licensed age ranges, so we can't say. Ontario leaves that field blank on roughly 82% of records. Ask the centre and check the licence posted in the lobby.
Does CWELCC apply here?
Simcoe County is the service system manager. Centres enrolled in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care agreement charge reduced fees for children under six, but enrolment is each operator's choice.
Where should I look if Tottenham is full?
Alliston and Bradford West Gwillimbury both carry more listings and are a short drive away.
How many daycares in Tottenham publish their opening hours?
5 of the 8 licensed programmes MapleCub has on file in Tottenham publish their hours. The rest have not listed opening and closing times, so call to confirm.
