Welcome to the childcare establishment locator!
For the sake of information, transparency and continuous quality improvement, the ministère de la Famille et des Aînés has decided to make available the results of the inspections conducted since November 15, 2009 in Québec childcare centres and daycare centres.1 These results will provide broader information on the childcare services that interest you.
To access the inspections' results
To access the reports, go to the file of the childcare centre or daycare centre concerned and click on the icon
. However, it is possible that no information is yet available on a given childcare service if it has not been inspected since November 15, 2009.
You can obtain the contact information of all Québec childcare centres and daycare centres and see their location on a map. The locator indicates childcare services in operation and under development that the ministère de la Famille et des Aînés has authorized and that are expected to open within the next 18 months. It is updated weekly.
As for home childcare services, the use of the search by proximity function allows you to determine whether there are home childcare services within the radius that you have specified. The search will display, as the case may be, the contact information of the coordinating offices to which the recognized home childcare providers pinpointed report. The coordinating office will facilitate your search among the providers of such childcare services.
When you use the childcare establishment locator, you can refine your search in order to obtain the contact information for childcare services that offer reduced-contribution spaces ($7) or those that accept babies under 18 months of age.
Childcare service directories by administrative region (French only) are also available. The directories indicate the contact information for childcare centres, daycare centres and the coordinating offices of home childcare providers in each region of Québec.
Moreover, you can consult the list of regional access outlets in respect of childcare spaces (French only) that have been set up to help parents seeking a childcare service space.
