PD Day Care in Regina SK — What Parents Need to Know | Daisy Days Daycare

Professional development (PD) days — when schools close for teacher training but parents still go to work — are one of the most common childcare planning challenges for Regina SK families. Here’s what you need to know about managing childcare on PD days and how licensed daycare in Regina SK helps.

What Are PD Days and Why Do They Affect Childcare?

PD days (Professional Development days) are scheduled school closure days throughout the Saskatchewan school year when teachers attend professional training. Regina Public Schools and Regina Catholic Schools typically schedule 5-7 PD days per school year, in addition to statutory holidays and spring break.

For families with children in school-age care or older children who have “graduated” to school but still need occasional care, PD days require advance planning.

How Licensed Daycare in Regina SK Handles PD Days

Full-day licensed daycares like Daisy Days Daycare typically remain open on school PD days — they operate on a daycare schedule, not a school calendar. This means:

• Infants, toddlers, and preschool children attend as normal
• Families with school-age children in before/after school care can arrange full-day care for PD days
• CWELCC applies as usual — approximately $10/day

Planning Ahead for PD Days in Regina SK

• Download the school year calendar from Regina Public or Catholic Schools at the start of the year
• Mark all PD days and statutory holidays in advance
• Notify your daycare if your school-age child will need full-day coverage on a PD day
• Build a backup care plan for any PD days when your regular centre is at full capacity
