Start a Regulated Child Care Centre

The Ministry of Education accepts proposals for the development of new regulated child care centre spaces throughout the year from parent groups, non-profit corporations, co-operatives, municipalities and other interested not-for-profit organizations. For-profit business corporations and individuals over the age of 18 may also apply; however, centres operated as a for-profit business model are not eligible for government funding.

A centre may provide services to:

  • Children ranging in age from six weeks up to and including 12 years of age.
  • A maximum of 90 children.

Financial supports are provided to help with the costs of developing and operating a Child Care Centre in Saskatchewan. Learn more about the grants available for Regulated Child Care Centres.

How to Get Started

  1. Determine the child care need in your community to understand what other early learning and care services already exist. You may wish to use the Survey of Need for Child Care Services to assist you.
  2. Consider partnerships in community such as your local municipality, school division, community-based organizations and local businesses. Learn more about how your municipality can support child care development.
  3. To be eligible for Ministry of Education grant funding, ensure you're incorporated as a non-profit corporation, co-operative or municipality. Find out how to become incorporated by visiting:
  4. Complete and submit your Community Needs Assessment form for review. To strengthen the application, include a business plan and proposed operating budget. You may also include letters of support from your community. The information you provide will be used to assess the preparedness of your organization for child care centre development, the child care need of your community and your organization’s priorities for serving children and families.

What Happens Once You Have Applied

Once your application is submitted, ministry officials work with you to address any questions or concerns to complete the application. New space allocations and associated space development funding approvals take place throughout the year.

Proposals demonstrating the potential to provide quality service and become operational within a reasonable time frame within a community that has a high need for child care are given higher consideration for approval.
