Is Daisy Days Daycare CWELCC-approved?

Yes. Daisy Days Daycare is fully licensed and CWELCC-approved. Families pay approximately $10/day.

Is Daisy Days Daycare licensed in Saskatchewan?

Yes. Licensed under Saskatchewan Child Care Act since 2010.

Does CWELCC auto-renew for families in Saskatchewan each year?

Yes. At enrolled centres like Daisy Days, CWELCC is embedded in the centre's provincial funding and applies automatically to all enrolled families without annual renewal paperwork from families.

When do families need to reapply for CWELCC in Saskatchewan?

Reapplication is needed when changing to a new daycare centre (confirm it's CWELCC-enrolled), when returning after a long absence, or when moving from out of province. The subsidy continues automatically for transitions within the same centre.

What is the difference between CWELCC and the Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI)?

CWELCC reduces fees to ~$10/day for all families at enrolled centres with no income test. The Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) is an additional income-based provincial program that must be applied for separately and renewed periodically.

If a centre withdraws from CWELCC, the subsidized rate would no longer apply at that centre. Daisy Days remains fully committed to CWELCC and has maintained enrollment continuously. Families would always be notified of any fee changes.

CWELCC Renewal and Reapplication Guide Saskatchewan 2026 — What Regina Families Need to Know

The Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program in Saskatchewan automatically applies the $10/day average subsidy to all families enrolled at participating licensed centres—but there are situations where families need to understand how CWELCC interacts with changes in their child’s enrollment, age, daycare centre, or family circumstances. This guide covers everything Regina SK families need to know about CWELCC continuity, changes, and what to do when their childcare situation changes in 2026.

Note: The Saskatchewan Child Care Subsidy was replaced by the Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) in 2024. The SEI provides a monthly benefit to lower-income working families. Check current eligibility and amounts on the Government of Saskatchewan SEI page.

Does CWELCC Auto-Renew in Saskatchewan?

At enrolled centres like Daisy Days Daycare, CWELCC is not a family-level application that expires and needs to be renewed annually. The subsidy is embedded in the centre’s provincial funding agreement and automatically applies to all eligible families enrolled at that centre. As long as your child remains enrolled at a CWELCC-participating licensed daycare in Saskatchewan, you continue to receive the subsidized rate without any renewal paperwork on your end.

When Does a Family Need to “Reapply” for CWELCC?

There are specific circumstances where the CWELCC subsidy may be disrupted or require action by the family:

Changing daycare centres: If you transfer your child to a new centre, confirm that the new centre is CWELCC-enrolled before making the switch. Not all licensed daycare centres in Saskatchewan have yet enrolled in CWELCC. Daisy Days Daycare is enrolled—the subsidy applies from day one of enrollment.
Child aging out of a program: When your child transitions from infant to toddler, toddler to preschool, or preschool to BASC at the same centre, the subsidy continues automatically. No re-application is required.
Moving from out-of-province: Families newly arriving in Saskatchewan from another province must enroll their child at a CWELCC-participating centre in Saskatchewan. The subsidy applies from the point of Saskatchewan enrollment.
Returning after a long absence: If your child was un-enrolled for an extended period (e.g., parental leave, relocation), contact the daycare centre to confirm re-enrollment and CWELCC applicability upon return.

Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) vs. CWELCC: Are These the Same?

No—these are two different programs that can be layered on top of each other:

CWELCC: A federal-provincial cost-sharing program that reduces licensed daycare fees to an average of $10/day at enrolled centres. Applies to all families without an income test for the base subsidy.
Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI): An additional provincial subsidy for lower- and middle-income families that can reduce costs further, potentially to near-zero, for qualifying households. Requires an application to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education and is renewed periodically based on income reassessment.

Families who access the Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) must renew their subsidy application with the province periodically (typically annually or upon significant income change). This renewal is a provincial process—separate from the CWELCC rate at the centre level.

What Happens to CWELCC if a Centre Leaves the Program?

If a licensed daycare centre in Saskatchewan withdraws from the CWELCC funding agreement (which is rare but possible), the subsidized rate would no longer apply at that centre and full fees would be restored. Daisy Days Daycare remains fully committed to CWELCC participation and has maintained its enrolled status continuously. Families will always be notified by the centre of any changes to their fee structure.
