Childcare Waiting List Strategy 2026 — How to Get a Daycare Spot in Regina SK Faster

Licensed CWELCC daycare in Regina SK is in high demand. Wait times have grown since the $10/day program launched. But there are proven strategies to maximize your chances of getting a spot at quality licensed centres like Daisy Days Daycare at 2007 Potts Crescent East, Regina SK S4V 2E5. Call 306-807-3233 — the earlier, the better.

Strategy 1 — Join Multiple Waitlists Simultaneously

Put your name on waitlists at 3-5 quality licensed daycare centres at the same time. Many parents are too loyal to one centre and miss out. When you receive an offer, you can always decline the others. Joining multiple waitlists is expected and accepted behaviour in the licensed daycare world. Call Daisy Days Daycare at 306-807-3233 today.

Strategy 2 — Start Earlier Than You Think You Need To

For infant spots, join the waitlist during your second trimester of pregnancy — before you even know the due date exactly. For toddler spots, when your infant starts at daycare. For preschool, when your toddler starts. Always be one step ahead of your child’s development.

Strategy 3 — Stay in Active Contact with the Waitlist

Many spots go to families who are responsive and engaged. When a daycare calls with a spot offer, they often need an answer within 24-48 hours. Families who don’t answer calls or take a week to decide lose their spot. Stay reachable. Respond promptly. Show genuine interest in the centre.

Strategy 4 — Be Flexible on Start Dates

If you can be flexible — “anytime between January and April” rather than “exactly February 15” — you dramatically increase your chances. Spots open unpredictably based on families leaving or children aging up.

Strategy 5 — Book a Tour

Families who tour a centre are perceived as genuinely interested and serious. At Daisy Days Daycare, we encourage all waitlisted families to book a free tour. It shows commitment — and it helps you confirm the fit is right before the spot opens. Book a free tour →

Strategy 6 — Seasonal Timing

More spots open in September (school-year transitions), January (mid-year moves), and June (preschool graduates moving on). If your target start is flexible, aim for these peak turnover periods.

Strategy 7 — Consider Sibling Priority

Many licensed daycares — including Daisy Days Daycare — give priority placement to siblings of currently enrolled children. If you have a child enrolled, ask about sibling priority when your next child is born.
