Helpful Tips for finding Daycare in Moncton

Finding a daycare is perhaps one of the biggest challenges that newcomers face when they arrive in Moncton. It can be stressful trying to find a daycare while also applying for jobs and settling into your new accommodation. 

Here are a few helpful tips to help you find a daycare in Moncton;

• Apply Early
  
  New families should call and try to get on a waitlist as soon as possible. This is especially true for children under the age of 24 months. 

• Gather Information
  
  Typically, you can expect to be asked to provide; Your children’s name, date of birth, expected start date, your contact information and two further contacts in the case of an emergency (this could be an employer or a family friend).

• Prepare for Enrollment
  
  To ensure that there are no delays once a spot opens up – make sure you are ready for enrolment.  In New Brunswick, Daycares are required to request your medicare number and immunization record.
  
  If you haven’t received your medicare number yet, notify the daycare of the date you have applied and when you expect to receive it, usually daycares can still enroll your child as long as the number has been applied for.
