How to Check a Daycare’s Licence & Inspection Results in Saskatchewan | Daisy Days Guide

One of the most overlooked quality verification tools available to Regina SK parents is Saskatchewan’s licensed daycare inspection system. At Daisy Days Daycare, we believe parents should know exactly how to verify a centre’s licence status and inspection history — because this is one of the most important quality signals available.

What Saskatchewan’s Licensing System Does

Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Education licenses all childcare centres in the province. Licensing involves:

• Initial application and review of facility, staffing plan, program documentation, and policies
• Regular on-site inspections of licensed centres — verifying ratio compliance, health and safety standards, physical environment, documentation practices, and policy implementation
• Investigation of complaints filed by parents, staff, or the public
• Issuance of compliance orders when violations are found — requiring the centre to correct specific issues within a defined timeframe
• Licence suspension or revocation for serious or unresolved compliance failures

How to Verify a Saskatchewan Daycare’s Licence

Method 1: Ask the Daycare Directly

Every licensed daycare in Saskatchewan must:

• Display their current licence on the premises (visible to parents)
• Provide their licence number upon request

Ask at your first tour: “Can I see your current licence?” and “What was the outcome of your most recent inspection?” A quality licensed daycare will answer both questions without hesitation.

Method 2: Contact Saskatchewan Ministry of Education

The Ministry of Education’s Early Learning and Child Care branch (part of the Ministry of Education in Saskatchewan) maintains records of all licensed childcare centres. Contact them to:

• Confirm a specific centre’s licence status
• Ask about any recent compliance orders or inspection concerns
• Request general information about inspection history

Method 3: Saskatchewan Childcare Registry / Online Resources

Check Saskatchewan’s government website for any publicly available childcare registry or listing of licensed providers — this may include basic licence status information.

Understanding Inspection Results — What They Mean

When reviewing a daycare’s inspection history:

• No compliance orders: The inspection found the centre meets all licensing requirements at that time. This is what you want to see.
• Minor compliance orders, resolved: The inspector identified an issue; the centre corrected it within the required timeframe. This happens occasionally at quality centres — the key is that it was identified AND resolved.
• Ongoing unresolved compliance orders: Concerning — the centre has been told to fix something and hasn’t. Ask why and what the current status is.
• Repeated compliance orders for the same issue: A pattern of the same problem recurrence is a quality concern worth taking seriously.
