Find a licensed dayhome in Calgary

Start with your family’s real needs

Tell us your preferred area, schedule, child’s age, timing, language needs, and the kind of home environment you are looking for. A clear first conversation is more useful than a rushed promise.

What an approved family day home means

An approved family day home educator provides care from their own home while working under a licensed family day home agency. Agencies support and monitor educators under Alberta’s framework. For the current provincial information, see Alberta’s approved family day home guidance.

How matching works

SMADA considers the practical details first: educator availability, location, schedule, licensed capacity, age mix, and program fit. An inquiry begins a conversation; it does not guarantee an immediate space or placement.

Questions worth asking before you decide

• Does the location and schedule work for our family?
• What routines, communication, and transition support are important to us?
• What information should we bring to a first conversation or visit?
• What are the current availability and next steps?
