๐ Understand Regulatory Framework
The provincial government is responsible for setting policies, regulations, and licensing standards. It licenses child care programs and family day home agencies, conducts regular inspections, and investigates complaints to maintain safety and quality in the sector.
Unlike other jurisdictions, Alberta does not require the involvement of Edmonton’s local government in child care. Instead, the province directly funds providers through grants. These grants help with operational costs, provide wage top-ups for staff, and offer accreditation funding to improve service quality.
In February 2021, the Early Learning and Child Care Act introduced a major shift in the regulatory framework. The licensing model changed from program-based to facility-based. Now, there are four types of licenses: facility-based programs, group family child care programs, family day homes regulated by licensed agencies, and innovative child care programs.
