Saskatchewan Licensing Requirements: Outdoor Play Year-Round
Saskatchewan Ministry of Education regulations for licensed daycares require daily outdoor play for all age groups except when weather makes it unsafe. The regulatory threshold: outdoor play is typically exempted when wind chill exceeds minus 25 to minus 27 degrees Celsius for the infant and toddler rooms, and minus 27 to minus 30 degrees for preschool and BASC. Daisy Days follows Environment Canada wind chill readings and makes outdoor decisions accordingly.
What Winter Outdoor Play Looks Like at Daisy Days
Infant Room Winter Outdoor Play
Infants go outdoors in winter in strellers or baby carriers when weather permits. Parents provide proper winter outerwear: insulated suit, mittens, warm hat. Educators check exposed skin for safety before and during outdoor time.
Toddler and Preschool Winter Outdoor Play
Toddlers and preschoolers need: warm jacket, snow pants, winter boots, warm socks, mittens, hat, and neck warmer. Outdoor play time is typically 20 to 40 minutes depending on temperature. Educators monitor children constantly. Winter play includes: snowplay, snow angels, building, sledding, free exploration.
What Parents Need to Provide for Winter at Daisy Days
Daisy Days does not provide outerwear – parents are responsible for sending adequate winter clothing daily. A child who arrives without adequate winter outerwear cannot safely participate in outdoor play. Essential list: waterproof insulated snow pants, winter-rated jacket, winter boots (waterproof, rated to minus 25 or colder), waterproof mittens or gloves, winter hat or balaclava.
