FirstDrop

Find and track
daycare waitlists
before the
window closes.

Toronto parents spend weeks piecing together daycare information from spreadsheets, Facebook groups, and outdated city listings. FirstDrop brings it together in one place.

Infant spots across many Toronto neighbourhoods fill well in advance of when families begin looking. Waitlists often run a year or more.

The Process

How FirstDrop works

Discover

Browse Toronto daycares drawn from Ontario’s licensed childcare registry — centre-based programmes and licensed home care.

Save

Build your shortlist and filter by neighbourhood and CWELCC participation status.

Track

Log every application, record follow-up dates, and keep each centre’s progress in one clear view.

Licensed Status

Provincially Licensed

Each centre’s licensing status is sourced from Ontario Ministry of Education records and shown on every listing.

Financial Aid

CWELCC / $10/day

See which centres are enrolled in the CWELCC $10/day subsidy programme. Confirm enrolment directly with the centre before applying.

Authentic Data

Provincial Registry Data

Data drawn from Ontario’s provincial childcare registry and inspection records — not social media, not unverified directories.
