What Happens If My Child Is Injured at Daycare in Regina SK? | Daisy Days Parent Guide

No parent wants to receive a call that their child has been injured at daycare. But minor injuries are an inevitable part of childhood in any care setting — and how a licensed daycare in Regina SK handles injuries is a significant quality indicator. At Daisy Days Daycare, transparency and immediate parent communication are our standard. Here’s what you need to know.

Types of Childhood Injuries at Licensed Daycares

First: the context. Children get hurt. In a group care environment of active, developing children, minor injuries are statistically normal — and trying to prevent every scrape and bump would require eliminating the physical play that is essential for development. The distinction that matters is between:

• Typical childhood injuries: Scraped knees, small bruises, minor falls, bumped heads (minor). These happen in any active care environment.
• Preventable injuries: Injuries resulting from inadequate supervision, unsafe conditions, equipment failure, or ratio violations. These may indicate negligence.
• Serious injuries: Fractures, head injuries, bites that break skin, injuries requiring medical attention. These require immediate parent contact, full incident reporting, and Ministry notification.

What Daisy Days Daycare Does When a Child Is Injured

Step 1: Immediate Response

When a child is injured at Daisy Days Daycare, the responding educator:

• Ensures the injured child is safe and attended to first
• Provides appropriate first aid (we have qualified first aid-trained educators)
• Assesses severity — if there’s any doubt, we err on the side of caution and contact parents/EMS
• Ensures other children in the group are supervised during the response

Step 2: Parent Contact

• For any injury beyond the most minor, we contact parents by phone that day — during operating hours when possible, at pickup otherwise
• For serious injuries, we contact parents immediately — regardless of their work situation — and call emergency services if warranted
• We provide a factual account of what happened, what was done, and the child’s current status

Step 3: Incident Report

• All injuries and significant incidents are documented in a written incident report on the day of the incident
• The report includes: date, time, location, description of what happened, who witnessed it, what first aid was provided, who was contacted
• The incident report is signed by the educator and made available to parents — you have the right to a copy

Step 4: Ministry Notification (Serious Injuries)

• Saskatchewan Ministry of Education regulations require licensed daycares to report serious injuries to the Ministry
• Serious injuries include: fractures, significant head injuries, injuries requiring emergency medical care, bites that break skin, or any incident involving potential abuse
