Planning Backup Care for Long Weekend Closures

Saskatchewan has approximately 10-12 statutory holiday daycare closures per year — roughly one per month on average (heavier in spring, lighter in summer). For working parents, each closure requires a backup care plan. Build your backup network in advance:

• Grandparent network: Who can take the child for the day? Do they know in advance? Build the expectation into your annual planning — mark all stat holidays on the calendar in January and check in with grandparents early
• Work leave: Identify which statutory holidays fall on your work days and confirm your employer’s statutory holiday pay and time-off policies. Some employers close on statutory holidays themselves — no backup needed on those days
• Backup caregiver: A trusted babysitter or neighbor who is available on stat holidays (when most people are off work) may be willing to provide care

Does Daisy Days Daycare Close for PD Days?

Daisy Days Daycare operates on a daycare calendar — not a school calendar. We typically remain OPEN on school PD days (when school is not in session but we are). This is one of the key advantages of licensed daycare for working families — consistent coverage on school non-instructional days.

Exception: Daisy Days Daycare may schedule 1-2 annual PD days for our own team’s professional development — families receive maximum advance notice of these centre-specific closure days.
