About Us

A home away from home, built on love

At Ray Ray's Little Rascals Childcare 1 & 2, we know that choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions a family makes. That's why we've built something special on Westminster Drive — a place where your child isn't just watched, but truly seen.

Our two locations in Salem serve families who want a nurturing, home-like environment where early learning happens naturally — through play, curiosity, and the kind of patient guidance that only comes from people who genuinely love working with young children.

What We Offer

Programs for every stage

Each program is thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are — with activities that challenge, comfort, and inspire growth.

Infant being gently cared for by a childcare provider
0 – 18 Months

Infant Care

Gentle, responsive care tailored to your baby's unique rhythm. Skin-to-skin moments, tummy time, sensory exploration — all in a quiet, secure space where your little one feels safe.

Toddlers exploring toys and learning through play
18 Months – 3 Years

Toddler Programs

Big feelings, big curiosity, big adventures. Our toddler rooms buzz with purposeful play — building language, motor skills, and the beginnings of independence in a warm, structured setting.

Preschool children working on a group learning activity
3 – 5 Years

Pre-Kindergarten

Ready, set, learn! Our pre-K program builds school readiness through literacy, numeracy, creative expression, and social skills — giving your child confidence on their first day of school and beyond.

Why Families Choose Us

The kind of care you'd choose for your own

We don't treat childcare like a service — we treat it like a responsibility. Every detail, from the meals we serve to the way we talk to a crying two-year-old, is guided by one question: would we want this for our own family?

Licensed & Compliant

Both locations meet all state licensing requirements for safety, staffing, and facility standards.

Homelike Atmosphere

Small group sizes mean your child gets personal attention, not impersonal supervision.

Early Learning Focus

Developmentally appropriate activities that build cognitive, social, and emotional foundations.

Transparent Communication

You'll always know how your child is doing — through daily updates, open doors, and genuine relationships with our team.

Caring childcare staff interacting warmly with children

"The peace of mind we have knowing our children are loved, safe, and learning every day — that's priceless."

From Our Families

Trusted by Salem parents

"We toured several centers before finding Ray Ray's, and the difference was night and day. The moment we walked in, we felt welcome. Our daughter has blossomed here — she comes home singing new songs every day."

— Parent, Salem

"As a single parent, I needed somewhere I could trust completely. Ray Ray's has been that for us. The staff remembers everything about my son — his preferences, his fears, his victories. That level of care doesn't happen by accident."

— Parent, Salem

"Both of my kids attended Ray Ray's, and I wish we'd found them sooner. The second child adapted in a week — the first took a month. That's how different the experience felt compared to our previous center. Home is the right word."

— Parent, Salem
