Bilingual & Francophone Childcare Options in Regina SK | Daisy Days

Regina SK is home to a growing bilingual and Francophone community. Families with French as a first language, or those raising bilingual children, have specific childcare needs — and the CWELCC program provides the same $10/day fee reduction regardless of the linguistic character of the licensed centre.

Childcare Options for Bilingual Families in Regina SK

Families raising bilingual or multilingual children in Regina SK have several childcare pathways:

• Francophone licensed daycare: Some licensed centres in Saskatchewan operate primarily or exclusively in French — these are typically associated with the Fransaskois community. Families seeking French-only immersion daycare should contact the Conseil scolaire fransaskois for referrals.
• English-language licensed daycare with home language support: At centres like Daisy Days Daycare, children from French-speaking or multilingual families receive English-language programming during daycare hours while families maintain their home language at home — a model supported by language development research.
• Bilingual nanny: Some families use a bilingual nanny for home-language maintenance, though this option is significantly more expensive and not CWELCC-eligible.

Is Maintaining a Home Language Compatible with English-Language Daycare?

Yes — and research strongly supports this approach. Children who maintain their home language (French, Cree, Ukrainian, Tagalog, Spanish, or any other language) while experiencing English immersion at daycare develop stronger dual-language skills than children who receive home-language input at daycare and English at home.

The key principle: each environment consistently uses one language. Daisy Days Daycare provides consistent, rich English immersion; your home provides consistent home-language input. This structured approach produces the strongest bilingual outcomes.
