RayCam offers licensed daycare for children aged 2.5 to 5 years in the neighborhood. Contrary to common practice our waitlist is not based on a first come, first serve basis. We consider all children on the waitlist to identify highest need. Our approach to early childhood education is to serve as an intervention for children who are at risk of facing adverse experiences early on in childhood. We pride ourselves in focusing on children who have higher behavioral support needs and come from historically marginalized groups. 

We have two daycare rooms, Mountain and Lake, with enrollment capacity of 20 children each. Hours of care are 8am to 5:30pm on all days except statutory holidays. We are also closed for an additional 12 days during the year for professional development and staff training purposes.

RayCam is a participating $10 a Day Centre. The fee is $140/month during the school year and $200/month during the summer. Families might be eligible for Affordable Child Care Benefit (ACCB) through Ministry of Education and Childcare. Information about eligibility and assistance to fill out the application can be found of ACCB’s website or by calling 1-888-338-6622.
