What to ask when you call

Not all licensed daycares accept the subsidy — always confirm before applying
Call or email the provider to ask: "Are you currently accepting new families on the subsidy?"
Ask if there's a wait for subsidy spots — some providers have subsidy waitlists even if they accept the program
Once approved, your authorization is tied to a specific provider — changing providers requires notifying your caseworker
Alberta's Family Day Home Agency program allows approved providers — including some relatives who live separately — to offer licensed home childcare through a registered family day home agency.
