EnglishWhat is Woodland Children's Centre?
Updated
Woodland Children's Centre is a child care provider in Ontario, Canada, with locations serving Toronto and Durham. Its site tagline is "Where work and play come together," and visitors can choose a location site or go directly to registration. It may fit your needs if you are a parent in Toronto or Durham looking for a registered child care setting; the site does not publish program details, ages, fees, or hours, so you will need to check a specific location before deciding.
Locations and operating history
The homepage separates its offering into two regions, each with its own entry point and registration link. The operating dates suggest an established provider rather than a new one:
| Region | Operating since |
|---|---|
| Toronto | 1985 |
| Durham | 2013 |
| A second location (listed alongside the above) | 1999 |
The page lists three "Operating since" dates but only two regional headings, so the 1999 date belongs to one of the centres without being clearly tied to a region on the homepage. If the exact start year of a specific centre matters to you, confirm it with that location.
What the site tells you, and what it doesn't
The homepage is a gateway rather than a brochure. From it you can:
- Enter a location site — for the Toronto or Durham centre — to see that centre's information.
- Register — each region has its own registration link.
What is not on the homepage: ages served, ratios, hours, fees, subsidy or waitlist information, and licensing details. The site also does not state whether registration is open, waitlisted, or conditional on a tour. Treat the registration link as a starting point, not a confirmed place.
How to use the site to make a decision
- Pick your region. Start with Toronto if you are in Toronto, Durham if you are in Durham — the two sites are separate.
- Enter the location site and look for the details that matter to your family: ages, schedule, and fees.
- Use the registration link for that region if you want to proceed. Expect the process to require information about your child and your care needs.
- Verify before committing. Because the homepage does not publish fees, hours, or space availability, confirm these directly with the centre you are considering.
A practical example: a parent in Durham who needs full-day care for a toddler should open the Durham site first, check whether the centre serves that age group and what the daily schedule looks like, and only then start registration — rather than registering through the Toronto link or assuming the two centres run identical programs.
Common sticking points
- Choosing the wrong region's registration link. The two regions have separate entry and registration paths; using the wrong one may send your enquiry to a centre you cannot reach.
- Assuming the three dates map neatly to three centres. The homepage does not label which date belongs to which location beyond Toronto (1985) and Durham (2013).
- Expecting pricing or availability on the homepage. Neither is published there, so plan to ask.
If your main question is whether a place is available and what it costs, the homepage alone cannot answer it — the location site and a direct conversation with the centre are the next steps.
