Daycare Safety and Health in Regina SK — How Licensed Care Protects Your Child

Safety is the first thing parents want to know about any daycare. This page explains how safety and health work at a licensed Regina SK centre — ratios, staff screening, inspections, illness policy, emergency planning and secure pick-up — and how Daisy Days Daycare meets Saskatchewan’s standards.

Licensing: The Foundation of Safety

Licensed childcare in Saskatchewan must meet provincial standards covering staff qualifications, staff-to-child ratios, health and safety, nutrition, facility conditions and record-keeping.

Licensing is not a one-time stamp. Licensed centres are subject to ongoing requirements and inspections, which is why licensed care is safer and more accountable than informal arrangements.

Daisy Days Daycare is a provincially licensed centre. Read our guide to Saskatchewan childcare regulations.

Staff-to-Child Ratios

Ratios are one of the most important safety measures in childcare. The fewer children per educator, the more attention each child receives and the easier it is to supervise safely.

Saskatchewan sets small ratios for younger children. At Daisy Days Daycare, our infant room runs at 1:3, toddler at 1:5 and preschool at 1:8.

Read our explainer on daycare ratios in Saskatchewan.

Staff Screening and Training

Educators at licensed centres are screened before they work with children and are trained in early childhood education and in first aid and emergency procedures.

Ongoing professional development keeps staff current on child development, health and safety practices.

When you tour, ask about staff qualifications and first aid training. A good centre will answer openly.

Health, Hygiene and Illness Policy

Good hygiene is built into the daily routine: hand-washing, sanitising toys and surfaces, and safe food handling. These habits reduce the spread of illness.

Our illness policy sets out when a child should stay home and when they may return. It protects all the children in our care while staying realistic for working families.

We will call you promptly if your child becomes unwell and explain exactly what we observed. Read our guide to the sick child policy at daycare.

Medication and Allergy Management

If your child needs medication during the day, we follow a clear, documented process with your written authorisation and careful record-keeping.

Allergies are taken seriously. We record every allergy, plan meals and activities around it, and make sure all educators know which children are affected.

Read our guide to allergy management at daycare.

Emergency Planning

Licensed centres maintain emergency plans for fire, medical emergencies and other incidents. Staff are trained to follow them, and drills keep the plans current.

We keep emergency contact information up to date and ask families to tell us immediately when anything changes.

Read our guide to emergency planning and communication.

Secure Entry and Authorised Pick-Up

Only authorised adults may collect a child. We keep a pick-up list and check identification when needed. This is one of the simplest and most important safety measures in childcare.

If someone new will collect your child, tell us in advance in writing.

Read our guide to pick-up authorisation.

Safe Sleep and Infant Safety

For our youngest children, safe sleep is a priority. Babies sleep in safe, supervised spaces and are placed on their backs in line with safe-sleep guidance.

Infant rooms are baby-proofed, toys are age-appropriate, and educators are trained in infant first aid.

Read about our infant daycare program.

Outdoor and Play Safety

Outdoor play is part of every day, and it comes with its own safety planning. We supervise children closely, maintain equipment, and adjust for weather.

In Saskatchewan, that means planning for both summer heat and winter cold, with appropriate clothing expectations and shorter outdoor periods in extreme conditions.

Read our guide to winter outdoor play at daycare.

Transparency and Communication

Safety depends on honest communication between centre and family. We tell you what is happening, including when something goes wrong.

We welcome questions and we encourage families to raise concerns early. A centre that is transparent about safety is a centre you can trust.
