Funding has been provided for the creation of new licensed child care home spaces in the province, thanks to the Canada-Saskatchewan Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.

Potential caregivers have access to:

  • training and workshops;
  • assistance from educated child care consultants; and
  • inclusion in government materials provided to parents seeking child care.
