Get New Daycare Openings in Your Inbox
Finding daycare in Canada is a slow-moving search punctuated by sudden openings. A spot frees up; the listing goes live for a day; whoever sees it first inquires. The rest of us refresh search pages and hope.
That's the problem the FindChildcare.ca newsletter solves: instead of refreshing, you get a short email every Saturday morning with the new openings in your area.
What you get
- One email a week, Saturday morning Toronto time
- Filtered to your preferences: pick the cities, age cohorts, and languages you care about—you only see openings that match
- Free, no spam, unsubscribe with one click
How to subscribe
There's now a signup form on every parent-targeted blog post (look at the bottom of how to choose the right childcare provider for your family for an example), on the find childcare near you landing page, and a quick mobile bar on every daycare listing page. The footer of every page also has the full signup form.
How preferences work
After you confirm your email, you get a passwordless link to your settings page. There you can pick:
- Cities you're looking in (one or many)
- Age cohorts (infant, toddler, preschool)
- Languages if a specific one matters to your family
If you don't set preferences, you'll get the full feed of new openings across Canada—useful if you're flexible on location.
Why Saturday morning
Weekends are when most parents have time to actually act on a new opening. Saturday 9 a.m. Toronto means the email lands while you have coffee, not while you're sprinting to drop-off. If a spot looks good, you can inquire that morning and the provider sees it Monday.
Why we built this
Most childcare directories pitch "search again later" or charge for a premium alert tier. We send the digest free, no upsell, because the more parents find spots, the better the directory works for the providers who list with us. Aligned incentives, the easy way.
If you're already subscribed and want to update your cities or ages, the welcome email (and every digest) has a one-click link to your settings page—no password required.
