What is LittleBase?
LittleBase is a daycare and preschool directory built for Canadian families. We organize 5,236 child care programs across 147 cities so you can compare your local options in one place — addresses, hours, age groups, and what parents say — instead of piecing it together from a dozen tabs.
What's on every listing
Each daycare page includes the essentials: location and contact info, operating hours, age groups served, parent ratings, and a plain-English summary of what to expect. We're expanding listings with provincial licensing details, capacity, and program information, province by province.
Coverage
5,236 daycares and preschools across 147 Canadian cities — from Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver to smaller communities like Caledon, Belleville, and Stratford — so families outside the big-city core can find nearby options too.
