Licensed Daycare for Newcomer & Immigrant Families in Regina SK | Daisy Days CWELCC Guide

Regina SK is home to one of Canada’s fastest-growing newcomer communities — with thousands of new families arriving each year from across the world to build their lives in Saskatchewan. At Daisy Days Daycare, we welcome families from all backgrounds, all languages, and all countries of origin. This guide is for newcomer and immigrant families navigating licensed childcare in Regina SK for the first time.

What CWELCC Means for Newcomer Families in Regina SK

One of the most important things new arrivals in Saskatchewan should know about childcare is CWELCC — the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program that reduces licensed daycare fees to approximately $10/day at enrolled centres like Daisy Days Daycare.

This means: regardless of whether you’ve just arrived in Saskatchewan or have been here for years, if you have a child who needs childcare and you’re a Saskatchewan resident, you may access licensed daycare at approximately $10/day. CWELCC is not income-tested and is not restricted by immigration status for most qualifying residents.

Documents Newcomer Families Typically Need for Daycare Enrollment

At Daisy Days Daycare in Regina SK, we work with families from many different situations. Documents that can be used for enrollment:

Child Identification

• The child’s birth certificate (any country of issue)
• Passport for the child (any country)
• Immigration documents showing child’s date of birth (PR card, study permit, work permit with child information)
• Document from Saskatchewan Immigration or IRCC showing child’s status

Proof of Immunization

• Saskatchewan immunization record (from Regina’s public health nurse if child has been in Regina for any time)
• Immunization records from country of origin — we work with public health to assess equivalency
• If records are unavailable or incomplete: a letter from your pediatrician or public health nurse explaining the situation is usually acceptable

Proof of Saskatchewan Residency

• Saskatchewan Health Card, or application receipt showing you’ve applied
• Lease agreement or utility bill at your Regina address
• Letter from employer confirming Regina SK employment address

English is our primary language of instruction and communication at Daisy Days Daycare in Regina SK. If English is not your family’s first language:

• All children learn and develop English language skills quickly in a group care environment — bilingual children show strong overall language development even when their English is still developing
• We welcome home language support — speaking to your child in your home language at pickup and home time is encouraged, not discouraged. Bilingual children develop both languages when each is supported in its respective environment.
• For enrollment paperwork and important communication, we can arrange interpreter assistance or translation support — contact us to discuss your specific language needs
