Frequently asked questions
What is the process for getting my report?
Once you complete the short intake form, our analysts begin reviewing every licensed daycare in Oakville that fits your location, timing, and preferences. We combine data from provincial records, centre websites, and our own visits and parent interviews to curate a personalized shortlist. Each report is manually prepared to ensure accuracy, and delivery time may vary depending on demand and the level of detail required.
What's included in the report?
You’ll receive a clear, research-backed guide to the top daycare options for your family. Each profile includes:
Estimated waitlist forecasts matched to your preferred start date
Fee, subsidy, and CWELCC participation details
Plain-language summaries of licensing and inspection records
Real parent perspectives from families currently enrolled
Notes on programs, hours, meals, facilities and security
The report also includes a primer on how the daycare search process works in Oakville — from when to apply to how waitlists operate — so you can plan with confidence.
How is this different from government daycare listings?
Government databases confirm that a centre is licensed, but they stop there. Our reports go further by interpreting inspection data, estimating real-world wait times, gathering verified parent feedback, and even visiting centres in person. It’s the difference between a directory and a decision-ready resource.
Do you visit the daycares in person?
Yes. Our team conducts visits to observe classroom environments, safety practices, and staff interactions. These visits help us validate the information shared by each centre and capture details that aren’t visible in public data.
How do you gather reviews and insights?
We combine verified online reviews with direct outreach to parents currently enrolled at each centre. All insights are cross-checked against licensing and inspection data to ensure accuracy and balance. Our goal is to reflect real parent experiences — not marketing language.
Do you cover all daycare types?
Right now, our reports focus on licensed daycare centres within the boundaries of Oakville. This ensures every program we feature meets provincial safety and quality standards. Future versions may include home child care once we can apply the same level of verification.
