Daycare for University of Regina Student Parents | CWELCC $10/Day | Daisy Days Guide

Post-secondary education and parenthood overlap for more students than many realize. University of Regina student parents face one of the most financially constrained childcare situations — studying full-time while parenting, often on limited student income. At Daisy Days Daycare in Regina SK, we support student families through accessible CWELCC-enrolled licensed care at approximately $10/day.

CWELCC and Saskatchewan Childcare Subsidy for Student Parents

Student parents at the University of Regina may be eligible for multiple financial support layers:

Layer 1: CWELCC (~$10/Day at Daisy Days Daycare)

CWELCC is universal — no income requirement. Full-time University of Regina students with children enrolled at Daisy Days Daycare pay approximately $10/day regardless of income. This is approximately $220/month for full-time care — dramatically more affordable than pre-CWELCC childcare.

Layer 2: Saskatchewan Childcare Subsidy (Income-Tested)

Students on post-secondary student loans or with low household income often qualify for the Saskatchewan Childcare Subsidy — an additional provincial subsidy that can reduce fees below $10/day or eliminate fees entirely. Student income (including student loans and bursaries) is assessed differently by Social Services — contact them directly to confirm your specific eligibility.

Layer 3: Canada Student Loans Childcare Component

The federal student loans system (NSLSC) provides an additional childcare component for students with dependent children — separate from tuition assistance, specifically for childcare costs. Apply through your Student Aid application. Check your current award letter for the childcare amount.

Layer 4: University of Regina Student Financial Assistance

University of Regina has specific bursary and emergency assistance programs for student parents. Contact the Student Financial Aid office at UR to ask specifically about childcare support funding for enrolled students with children.

University of Regina Student Academic Schedule and Daycare

University of Regina students have variable schedules (class times change by semester). Practical planning for student parents at Daisy Days Daycare:

• Full-time enrollment (5 days, 7 AM-6 PM) gives you maximum schedule flexibility for classes, labs, and studying — approximately $220/month
• Part-time enrollment (if available) may suit lighter semester schedules — contact us to check current availability
• Exam periods: University of Regina has concentrated exam periods. Plan childcare coverage for exam sessions that may extend beyond typical class hours
• Semester transitions: Inform Daisy Days Daycare of any semester schedule changes that affect your child’s care needs
