Daycare for Working Families — Both Parents Working in Regina SK | Daisy Days

For families where both parents want or need to work in Regina SK, licensed childcare has always been the key enabler — but cost was historically the primary barrier. With the CWELCC program making licensed daycare available at approximately $10/day at Daisy Days Daycare, two-income family life in Regina SK is more financially accessible than ever before.

The Financial Case for Both Parents Working with Daycare in Regina SK

Before CWELCC, the “daycare cliff” was real — infant care at $50-65/day consumed an entire entry-level salary, making the financial case for one parent returning to work marginal. With CWELCC, the math has fundamentally changed:

Scenario	Pre-CWELCC	With CWELCC (Daisy Days)
One child, full-time infant	~$1,100-1,430/mo	~$220/mo
Both parents return to work	Net gain depended on income	Net gain for virtually all Regina SK income levels
Annual household benefit	Often marginal	$10,560-14,520 additional net income per year

Even at Saskatchewan’s minimum wage, a parent working full-time earns far more than $220/month in daycare costs — making CWELCC the single most impactful change to working-family financial planning in a generation.

Practical Benefits of Daisy Days Daycare for Working Families

• Consistent hours: 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday-Friday — aligned with most standard workday schedules
• One location: Siblings of different ages can often all be enrolled at Daisy Days Daycare — one drop-off and one pickup
• Predictable billing: CWELCC monthly billing at approximately $10/day is predictable and budget-stable
• No sick day uncertainty: When one parent can’t manage pickup due to work commitments, the other is on the authorized list
• Emergency backup: Daisy Days Daycare maintains consistent operations — no unexpected closures like informal care providers may have

CWELCC and Career Continuity

One of the most underestimated benefits of CWELCC is career continuity. Parents who return to work after parental leave maintain professional skills, seniority, and pension contributions that parents who stay home for extended periods lose. Lifetime earnings projections consistently show that career-continuous parents earn significantly more over a working life than those who took extended employment gaps for childcare reasons.

Communication and Backup Planning for Working Families

Two working parents benefit from these practical strategies at Daisy Days Daycare:

• Both parents on the authorized pickup list and familiar to educators
• Multiple authorized pickup people (grandparents, trusted friends) for genuine emergencies
• Both parents receiving daycare communication (if the centre uses an app or email, ensure both emails are registered)
• Sick child backup plan agreed in advance: who stays home day 1? Day 2? When is a caregiver called?
