Daycare Cleaning Services in Ontario
When the children are this small, there's no margin for a careless clean — not on germs, and certainly not on the chemicals you leave behind. Bluestone Janitorial runs daycare cleaning that puts child safety first, using only non-toxic, child-safe products. We look after childcare centres across Durham and the east GTA — Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville, then Scarborough, North York and Toronto — with the kind of care a parent would want for their own.

Product Choice Is the Whole Argument in a Childcare Setting
In most commercial settings, product selection is a preference. In a licensed childcare centre it is the constraint the entire program is built around. Everything used on a surface a child touches, mouths or sits on has to be Health Canada approved for that use, applied at the stated concentration, given its full contact time, and — where required — rinsed. A cleaner improvising with whatever is in the van is a licensing problem, not a quality problem.
The physical routine follows from that. Mats, cots, tables, toy bins and low-level touchpoints are disinfected on a documented daily cycle. Washrooms and diapering areas are treated as their own zone with separate colour-coded equipment. Floors are cleaned with the understanding that children are on them, not walking over them. And the work happens after hours, so nothing is being applied while a room is in use. Local centres are covered on daycare cleaning in Toronto.
Where an outbreak or a confirmed illness raises the standard, whole-room electrostatic application reaches the surfaces a cloth cannot — see our fogging and disinfection service for the method and our COVID-19 cleaning service for documented response cleaning. Schools run a related but larger-scale version of the same problem under school and campus cleaning.
Centres attached to a larger building or a community facility usually need a second scope for the shared areas — offices and reception under office cleaning programs, and periodic work such as our commercial carpet cleaning service on activity-room carpet and a twice-yearly our deep cleaning service. Durham and east-end centres sit on our regular route — Durham Region cleaning coverage.

Ontario Child Care Rules and What They Mean for Cleaning
Licensed child care centres in Ontario operate under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 and its general regulation, O. Reg. 137/15. Centres also follow the infection-prevention guidance of their local public health unit; in Durham that is the Durham Region Health Department, which inspects child care settings.
A cleaning contractor does not hold the licence, but the cleaning has to support it. That means products used at label strength and contact time, separate equipment for washrooms and diapering areas, cleaning after children leave, and records the centre can show an inspector.
- Supports the centre's licensing and public health requirements
- Separate equipment for washroom and diapering areas
- Cleaning only after children leave
- Cleaning records the centre can keep on file
Daycare Cleaning in Durham Region
We clean child care centres in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Clarington, including centres inside schools, community buildings and plazas. Where a centre shares a building, we agree which areas are the centre's and which belong to the landlord or school.
Daycare windows and glass doors get heavy fingerprint marks at child height, so interior glass and glass doors are part of the night cleaning routine.
What Affects the Price of Daycare Cleaning
The quote depends on the number of rooms, washrooms and diapering stations, flooring, visits per week, whether you want fogging and disinfecting during outbreaks, and periodic work such as carpet cleaning or strip and wax. We give a free written quote after a walk-through.
Screened, Insured Crews for Child Care
Every cleaner who enters a child care centre is police-checked, and the company holds WSIB clearance and commercial liability insurance. Certificates are supplied with the quote or on request, so you can keep them on file for your licensing records. We also follow any additional screening your centre requires. Ask for a quote.
Where children play, every surface matters.
The Bluestone Difference
Toddlers crawl the floor, mouth the toys, and grab whatever's in reach — so a daycare clean has to be judged by what's left behind as much as what's removed. We use zero harsh chemicals, hit the surfaces little hands find first, and clean each room as if our own child napped there. That's the standard a Durham daycare director should be able to count on.

We use green-certified cleaning products, chosen with young children in mind because they touch and mouth everything.
Little Hands Cleaned For First
Door handles, toy bins, change tables, floor mats — the spots children touch most get cleaned first and hardest.
Ready for Your Licensing File
Written cleaning records that drop straight into your CCEYA compliance binder and stand up to a health inspection.
Disinfecting When a Child Is Sick
When a child comes down with something, we can add fogging and disinfecting of the affected rooms to protect the rest of the centre.
How We Work
How Bluestone Cleans Your Daycare
Childcare Environment Assessment
We review every zone — infant rooms, toddler play areas, kitchens, washrooms — to understand the specific risks in each.
Product Safety Verification
All cleaning agents are approved and documented as non-toxic and safe for children under 5 before any first use.
Priority Zone Planning
High-risk surfaces like diaper areas and food prep zones are assigned the most frequent and rigorous cleaning protocols.
After-Hours Execution
Cleaning is completed after children leave each day so no child is exposed to cleaning agents or wet surfaces.
Written Daily Logs
Each session is documented with times, areas cleaned, and products used — available for your licensing file.
Outbreak Disinfecting
When illness strikes, we step up disinfecting and can fog affected rooms, following public health's instructions.
Client Voices
Durham Daycare Directors Who Trust Bluestone
As both a parent and the director of a Pickering centre, I needed a cleaner I could actually trust. Bluestone's non-toxic commitment is real — the products are verified, not just talked up on a brochure.
Our licensing inspector singled out our cleaning protocols for praise at the last visit. That was all Bluestone — and it's why I've passed their name to two other Ajax operators.
We had a norovirus scare last winter. Bluestone was at our Oshawa centre the same evening — no child missed more than a day and the outbreak stopped cold.
FAQ
Daycare Cleaning — FAQ
What child care operators in Durham and the east GTA ask.
Do you clean licensed daycares in Ontario?
Yes. We clean licensed child care centres in Durham Region and the east GTA, with a scope built around the centre's licensing and public health requirements.
What Ontario rules apply to daycare cleaning?
Licensed centres operate under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 and O. Reg. 137/15, and follow their local public health unit's infection-prevention guidance. In Durham, that is the Durham Region Health Department.
Do you clean while children are present?
No. We clean after the centre closes, so no product is applied while children are in the room.
Do you disinfect play areas?
Yes. Play tables, mats, cots, toy bins and other high-touch surfaces are disinfected after closing, and fogging and disinfecting of whole rooms is available during outbreaks. Cleaning individual toys is usually done by your staff during the day.
What products do you use?
We use green-certified cleaning products, plus Health Canada-approved disinfectants with a DIN, used at label strength and contact time. Safety data sheets are provided for your review.
Do you clean daycare windows?
Yes. Interior windows and glass doors are cleaned as part of night cleaning, which matters at child height.
Are your staff screened?
Yes. Everyone we send into a child care centre is police-checked. Bluestone holds WSIB clearance and commercial liability insurance; the clearance certificate and certificate of insurance come with the quote, and we follow any extra screening your centre requires.
How is daycare cleaning priced?
By rooms, washrooms and diapering stations, flooring, visits per week and any periodic carpet cleaning or strip and wax. We give a free written quote after a walk-through.
