Where Your Child's Well-being Comes First
About Us
Wilclay Childcare Centre is a not for profit organization providing quality child care for children ages 18 months to 13 years. Our Board of Directors is a group of dedicated volunteers who oversee the general administration in partnership with the Supervisor and the Parent Advisory Committee.
We are licensed by the Province of Ontario through the Ministry of Education in full compliance with the standards of the CCEYA as well as the regulations set out by the York Region Public Health Department.
Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System
​Wilclay Childcare Centre is enrolled in and under contract with Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System (CWELCC). The CWELCC System provides financial relief to families through government funding by reducing parent fees.
The goal of the CWELCC funding system is to have achieved an average of $10/day for child care for children ages 0 until the month the child turns 6 years of age.
