Daycare Fees, Billing & Invoicing — What to Expect with CWELCC in Regina SK | Daisy Days

Understanding how daycare fees, billing, and invoicing work with CWELCC in Regina SK helps families budget accurately and avoid surprises. At Daisy Days Daycare, we believe transparent billing is a quality indicator — here’s what to expect.

How CWELCC Appears on Your Daycare Invoice

At CWELCC-enrolled centres like Daisy Days Daycare in Regina SK, the CWELCC subsidy is applied directly to your invoice — you never pay full fee and then wait for a rebate. The invoice reflects your net amount owing after CWELCC:

Example invoice for full-time toddler enrollment (22 care days in a month):

Item	Amount
Care days: 22 × full daily rate	Shown at full rate
CWELCC subsidy (applied by centre)	Deducted automatically
Your amount owing	~$220 (22 × $10/day)

Exact billing format varies by centre. Contact Daisy Days Daycare at 306-807-3233 for our specific invoice format.

Common Fee Components at Licensed Daycares in Saskatchewan

1. Registration/Enrollment Deposit

A one-time fee paid when confirming your child’s spot on the waitlist or at enrollment. Typically:

• $100-$300 depending on the centre and age group
• May be applied to your first month’s fees, held as a security deposit, or non-refundable
• Confirm with Daisy Days Daycare the exact amount and refund policy

2. Monthly Care Fees (CWELCC-Reduced)

Your regular monthly childcare invoice at the CWELCC-reduced rate:

• Full-time (5 days/week, approximately 22 care days/month): approximately $220/month
• Part-time (3 days/week, approximately 13 care days/month): approximately $130/month
• Statutory holidays: whether holidays are included or prorated depends on your specific enrollment agreement — confirm with Daisy Days Daycare

3. Fees for Late Pickup

Most licensed daycares charge late pickup fees if parents arrive after closing time (6:00 PM at Daisy Days Daycare). This compensates educators required to stay after their scheduled hours. Late fees are typically per-minute or per-15-minute increment. These are separate from CWELCC and not subsidized.

4. Annual Tax Receipt

Not a fee — but a document. Daisy Days Daycare provides an annual CRA-compliant tax receipt showing your net childcare payments for the year, enabling the T778 childcare expense deduction on your personal tax return. Provided in January-February annually.

What Daycare Billing Does NOT Include (What You Pay Separately)

• Optional program supplies or special activity costs (varies by centre)
• Field trip fees (if any)
• Late pickup fees
• Diapering supplies (most centres ask parents to supply diapers and wipes)

Payment Methods at Daisy Days Daycare

Contact Daisy Days Daycare at 306-807-3233 to confirm current accepted payment methods (online banking, cheque, pre-authorized debit, or other). Most Saskatchewan licensed daycares have moved to digital payment to reduce administrative burden.

What Happens If You Miss a Payment?

Review your enrollment agreement for the centre’s fee delinquency policy. Most licensed daycares in Saskatchewan reserve the right to suspend care if fees are significantly in arrears. Contact Daisy Days Daycare immediately if a financial hardship arises — early communication allows us to work with families on a plan rather than responding to an unpaid balance.
