Your child deserves the right start.
You deserve a calmer way to find it.

Finding childcare is one of the most important things you will ever do — and it should not feel like navigating a maze alone at midnight.

One place to discover, apply, and stay in control.

The moments that wear you down

Every parent feels these. Every single one.

We did not build raisin around features. We built it around the moments that leave parents exhausted, anxious, or quietly falling behind.

A parent on the floor with a laughing baby

"I am spending so much time managing daycare applications that I am missing time with the person I am doing all this for."

Your baby needs your presence, not your spreadsheet. raisin handles the admin — so the hours you save go back to the moments that matter.

Two hands — one holding a phone searching at 11pm, the other cradling a sleeping baby

"It is 11pm and I am Googling daycares again. Four browser tabs and no idea which ones are even licensed."

raisin pulls from the BC MCFD licensed registry so you only ever see verified daycares. No spreadsheet needed.

A parent writing a sticky note reminder about a daycare follow-up

"I keep reminding myself to follow up — and then I forget, and another month goes by."

When it is time to follow up, raisin nudges you — then sends the reminder for you. Warm, professional, on time.

"I feel like everyone else figured this out already and I am the only one scrambling."

It takes a village — so raisin is building one for you. Guidance at every stage, from parents who scrambled through this themselves.

It takes a village to raise a child. We are raisin yours.

We are two parents who went through this process and could not believe how hard it was. We built raisin because every parent deserves a companion in this journey — not another tab to manage.
