About our agency
A licensed dayhome network built for safety, trust, and belonging.
For 37 years, Wee Care has paired the comfort of home-based child care with agency guidance, monitoring, and Alberta Affordability Grant alignment so families and educators know what to expect.
Government-aligned standards and safety monitoring
Licensed family day homes operate within Alberta standards for screening, records, and safety practices. Approved educators receive agency monitoring, practical guidance, and accountability so families have more confidence in daily care.
Backup care when available
If your educator is away, the agency helps find backup care through another approved educator when one is available.
Small group care
Children grow in warm home settings with smaller groups, familiar routines, and play-led learning close to their neighbourhood.
Affordability Grant alignment
Licensed agency day homes with an Affordability Grant agreement can offer Alberta’s flat parent fees — $326.25/month full-time or $230/month part-time for eligible children.
