OurKids Review

Depends

Should I use OurKids?

Not disclosed - ourkids.net

· 3 hours ago

Canadian parents should use it free as a research starting point for private schools and camps, then verify claims directly with schools. Skip it if you want independent rankings or live outside Canada; evidence here is thin, so confidence is low.

Not for

  • Public-school researchers; coverage is private schools and camps

  • Schools wanting free listings

Gotchas - check before you buy

Listings double as paid marketing; treat featured schools as advertisers, not editorial picks.
