Applicants for child care operator licences in Saskatchewan say they’re being denied

Applicants seeking to operate child care services in Saskatchewan are reportedly facing rejections despite high demand for childcare spaces. Kinza Nissar, a former daycare provider, shared her experience of closing her service due to lack of licensing and later applying for a license in January, which was denied. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education stated that they are prioritizing stabilization over rapid expansion and assessing community needs before granting licenses. Opposition leaders criticized the decision, arguing that qualified individuals are being turned away despite the urgent need for childcare services. The ministry clarified that applications are not being rejected but are under review to ensure alignment with provincial goals.
