What Is Licensed Child Care in Saskatchewan?

Licensed child care in Saskatchewan is regulated under The Child Care Act, 2014 and administered by the Ministry of Education. All licensed child care centres must meet mandatory provincial standards for:

• Staff-to-child ratios by age group (1:3 infants, 1:5 toddlers, 1:8 preschool)
• ECE-certified educator requirements
• Physical space and safety standards
• Health, sanitation, and food safety protocols
• Documented policies for illness, emergencies, and medications
• Regular Ministry of Education inspections

Facilities that operate without a provincial licence are unregulated, uninspected, and not eligible for CWELCC. Learn more about regulated vs. unregulated childcare.
