Find Licensed Childcare and Daycare Near You

Most Ontario childcare directories show you which centres are licensed or CWELCC-enrolled. ChildSpot goes further: it shows you which ones have spots available right now. Operators post openings directly through the app as spaces become available from vacancies, schedule changes, and program transitions.

Every centre on ChildSpot holds an active licence with the Ontario Ministry of Education. Both CWELCC-enrolled centres, where eligible families pay a maximum of $22 per day in 2026, and non-CWELCC licensed centres are listed side by side. ChildSpot clearly labels which centres participate in the program so you can filter by what works for your budget.

When you find a spot that works, book and pay securely through ChildSpot in minutes. No phone calls. No voicemails. No waiting for callbacks. ChildSpot is free to download and search.

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program caps daily childcare fees at $22 per day in 2026 for eligible Ontario families with children under six. Not every licensed centre participates. ChildSpot lists both enrolled and non-enrolled centres so you can compare all your options in one place.

Non-CWELCC centres are fully licensed and regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Education. They simply operate at market rates rather than the government-set cap. For families who need immediate care, a non-CWELCC licensed centre available now may be a better option than waiting years for a subsidized spot to open.

ChildSpot labels every listing clearly. When you search, you can filter by CWELCC status, age group, date, and distance to see exactly what is available and what it costs. No guessing. No calls.
