Daycare for 1 year old

Hello! We are looking to move to Barrie soon, from Toronto and are still viewing properties. How do I go about joining waitlists for daycare - is there a list of licensed daycares in the govt website? I couldn't find one on Simcoe website, and found one in Ontario website. But the Ontario one felt pretty incomplete/outdated probably. I understand that daycare waitlists are long typically everywhere. But what do folks (who move to a new place, but didn't know a year or so ago, that they are going to be moving there) do in this situation? I am sure lots of folks with young children might be moving in to Barrie, so just hoping for some advise on those lines. Much much appreciated! Thank you!!!
