Before & After School Care (BASC) in Regina SK — Complete Guide 2026 | Daisy Days Daycare

When your child starts Kindergarten in Regina SK, full-day licensed daycare may end — but the need for childcare before and after school hours continues for most working parents. Daisy Days Daycare’s Before & After School Care (BASC) program bridges this gap with quality licensed care at approximately $10/day thanks to CWELCC.

What Is BASC?

Before and After School Care (BASC) provides licensed, supervised care for school-age children during the hours before and after the school day:

• Before school care: Typically 7:00 AM to school start (approximately 8:30-9:00 AM) — Daisy Days Daycare provides morning care, breakfast support, and school departure coordination
• After school care: Typically school end (approximately 3:00-3:30 PM) to 6:00 PM — structured activities, snack, outdoor play, homework time, and relaxed play until parent pickup

Who Is BASC For in Saskatchewan?

BASC at Daisy Days Daycare serves children from Kindergarten through Grade 6 (approximately ages 5-12). Working parents in Regina SK who have school-age children and full-time employment typically need 2-3 hours of before-school and 2.5-3 hours of after-school coverage daily — this is what BASC provides.

CWELCC and BASC in 2026

Transitioning From Full-Day Daycare to BASC at Daisy Days

Many Daisy Days Daycare families naturally transition their child from our preschool program to our BASC program when they start Kindergarten — a smooth transition with familiar faces, familiar routines, and an environment the child already knows and loves.
