After receiving 21 complaints in 2012 about private, unlicensed daycares, the Saskatchewan government is considering options to regulate them.

Currently, the government is unsure of the number of these private operations in our province, and doesn't track unlicensed dayhomes and care centres.

The changes being weighed may involve potential legislation - At this time, the government does not investigate unlicensed daycares, and they can only be shut down if something of a criminal nature comes to light.
