Alberta Child Care

Alberta provides various child care options to support families with young children. These include licensed facility-based programs such as daycares, out-of-school care, and preschools, as well as home-based family day homes overseen by licensed agencies. Licensed providers must adhere to the Early Learning and Child Care Act, ensuring they meet health, safety, and program quality standards.
