1. Join the Waitlist Well Before Your Return-to-Work Date

The most common mistake working parents in Regina SK make: waiting until 4 to 6 weeks before their return-to-work date to start looking for daycare. By that point, waitlists at quality licensed centres are full and you are choosing from whatever has availability, not whatever is best for your child.

Daisy Days waitlist timelines: Infant program (6 weeks to 18 months) — 9 to 12 months before your target start date. Toddler program (18 months to 3 years) — 6 to 9 months. Preschool program (3 to 5 years) — 3 to 6 months. BASC (Kindergarten to Grade 6) — by April for September.

The working parent who joins the waitlist when 3 months pregnant is the one who secures the infant spot they actually want. Call Daisy Days at +1 306-807-3233 or join the waitlist online today.

2. Understand CWELCC Costs as a Working Parent

At Daisy Days, you pay $10/day for every program under CWELCC. This applies to infant, toddler, preschool, and BASC. Before CWELCC, licensed infant daycare in Regina cost significantly more per month. The financial case for returning to work improved substantially when CWELCC reduced licensed daycare fees to $10/day. You do not apply for CWELCC separately. We confirm enrollment at your appointment and the $10/day rate starts from your first day of care.

3. Optimize Your Drop-Off and Pickup Routine

Our doors open at 7:30am. For parents starting work at 8:00am or 8:30am, a 7:45am drop-off gives you 15 to 45 minutes to reach virtually any Regina SK workplace. Create a consistent drop-off ritual — same phrase, same action, same exit, every time. Consistency reduces separation anxiety. Brief your educator at drop-off with a 30-second handoff note about anything relevant to today.

Evening pickup: We close at 6:00pm. Set a phone alarm at 5:15pm on days with unpredictable schedules. Identify a backup pickup person on your emergency contact list. Communicate appointment conflicts to Daisy Days the same morning if you know pickup will be later than usual.

4. Build Your Backup Childcare Plan Before You Need It

Licensed daycare centres in Saskatchewan are closed on statutory holidays. Your child will also have sick days. Every working parent in Regina needs a backup plan established before their child starts daycare, not during the first sick-day crisis.

Saskatchewan has 11 statutory holidays per year when Daisy Days is closed. You are not billed for these days. Options used by Daisy Days working families: grandparent statutory holiday care, employer flex scheduling or work-from-home options, and reciprocal parent backup arrangements. For sick days: identify which parent can take a half or full day on short notice, have a designated backup person who can be called, and know your employer family medical leave policy.

5. Choose Licensed CWELCC Daycare Over Informal Arrangements

Informal arrangements fail in predictable patterns that licensed care does not. The home daycare provider gets sick with no replacement coverage. The grandparent arrangement becomes strained. The informal pricing increases past CWELCC rates. At Daisy Days, supply educators ensure your care plan is never dependent on a single individual being healthy. When our educator is sick, a supply educator is in their place.

6. Maximize Federal and Provincial Tax Benefits

Working parents with children in licensed CWELCC care at Daisy Days qualify for the T778 Childcare Expense Deduction (claimed by the lower-income spouse), the Canada Child Benefit (monthly non-taxable federal payment for children under 18), and the Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) for qualifying lower-income working families. Daisy Days provides annual childcare receipts every February. See our complete guide to stacking all financial benefits.
