Approved Family Dayhomes are Government and Agency regulated. Dayhomes provide a safe and nurturing home environment that allows children to explore and interact with the world around them at their own pace. Our dayhome educators are dedicated to encouraging, guiding and supporting each child's individual needs and interests. The carefully set child/adult ratios and standards in Dayhomes make this possible. For more information, see the Dayhome Standards Manual.
Since we are a government contracted agency, you may be eligible to get child care subsidy. The Child Care Subsidy Program assists families with childcare costs for their children to attend a regulated child care program. Bring in your latest notice of assessment and social insurance number and fill out the online subsidy application in the office during your registration. To see if you qualify, click on the "Estimate your Subsidy" button on the Alberta Human Services website and find out your approximate amount of subsidy using the online estimator.
You can inquire at any time and we will put you on a callback list. The highest success rates for placements are within 3 months of the date care is required. Your information will still be entered into our system and we will contact you should anything become available.
Dayhome hours are set by each dayhome educator. We do have providers that accommodate shift work/evenings/weekends. When you call in, we will do our best to refer a dayhome to meet your needs.
