Daycare Enrollment Agreement in Regina SK — What to Read Before You Sign

Before you finalize daycare enrollment in Regina SK, you’ll be asked to sign an enrollment agreement (also called a childcare contract). This is a legally binding document — and understanding what it contains protects both your family and the childcare centre. Here’s what to look for.

Key Sections in a Daycare Enrollment Agreement in Saskatchewan

1. Fees and Payment Terms

The contract should clearly state the daily, weekly, or monthly fee. At CWELCC-enrolled centres like Daisy Days Daycare in Regina SK, the contract should reference the CWELCC rate (~$10/day) and confirm that your family qualifies for this reduced fee.

Look for: payment schedule, accepted payment methods, late payment policy, and NSF/declined payment consequences.

2. Notice Period

Most licensed daycares in Saskatchewan require 2–4 weeks written notice before withdrawal. Some require a full month. Understand what happens if you need to leave suddenly (e.g., job loss, relocation) — will you owe fees during the notice period?

3. Attendance and Sick Child Policy

The contract should outline which symptoms require exclusion from care, how you notify the centre if your child is absent, and whether you owe fees on days your child doesn’t attend (most centres charge for reserved spots regardless of attendance).

4. Holiday Closures

Saskatchewan-licensed daycares typically close on all statutory holidays. The contract should list planned closure days, Christmas break schedules, and the centre’s policy on professional development days. Do you owe fees on closure days?

5. Emergency Contact and Medical Consent

The agreement will require up-to-date emergency contacts and permission for the centre to administer first aid and seek emergency medical care. Keep this section current — your centre must be able to reach someone within one hour during the day.

6. Behaviour and Suspension Policy

For school-age children particularly, understand the centre’s approach to challenging behaviour, how parents are communicated with, and under what circumstances a child may be suspended or asked to withdraw.

7. Photo and Social Media Consent

Many daycares request permission to photograph children for documentation and communication. Understand exactly how images may be used before consenting.

Questions to Ask Before Signing

• Is the CWELCC $10/day rate locked in for the duration of enrollment?
• What is the notice period for withdrawal?
• Do I pay fees on days the centre is closed for holidays or PD days?
• What are the grounds for contract termination by the centre?
• What is the process for raising concerns or complaints?
