About Discover Daycare

A free tool to help Saskatchewan families find regulated child care and keep track of who they've contacted.

Where the information comes from

Listings are reproduced from a publicly available source — the Government of Saskatchewan's regulated child care registry. For providers with a Parent Central page or their own website, this app links out to those pages rather than reproducing their content. This app makes public information easier to search and organize; it does not create or independently verify it.

Accuracy & official status

In reproducing information from the Government of Saskatchewan's website, this app aims to reproduce it accurately, and it is not — and must not be taken as — an official version of that information. This is an independent tool. If you notice that a daycare listed here has closed, relocated, become temporarily unavailable, or changed in any way, please let us know through the feedback form above so the listing can be corrected.

Your tracking is private to this device

This app has no accounts and no sign-in. Everything you mark — statuses, notes and favourites — is stored only in this browser on this device, and is never sent to us or to anyone else. Because of that, clearing your browser data or deleting the app will erase it. Use Download backup in the ? menu (top right) to save a copy, and Restore from backup to bring it back or move it to a new phone.

Each browser keeps its own list. Safari and Chrome on the same computer will not show the same tracking, and your phone keeps a separate list again. A backup file is how you move between them — and it is a snapshot, not a sync, so save a fresh one after any real session of calling.

Your backup file holds everything — keep it to yourself

The backup file the app saves contains your home address, every daycare you called, and every note you wrote — in full. That is the point of it, and it never leaves your device unless you move it yourself. But treat it like a document with your address on it: don't post it, don't share it in a group chat, and don't email it to us. We never need it, and we would rather not have it. If something goes wrong, use the bug report instead — it carries no personal details at all.

What leaves your device

Your tracking never leaves. But a map cannot draw itself, so the app asks a few free public mapping services for help, and they see a location while they answer. Here is the whole list, so you are never guessing:

• When you set your home — the address you type is sent to a public address-lookup service (Photon, run by komoot in Germany, or OpenStreetMap as a backup) purely to turn it into a pin on the map.
• While the map is on screen — map squares are fetched from OpenStreetMap, which reveals roughly which part of the province you are looking at.
• When a travel time is drawn — your home pin and the daycare's location go to a free routing service to work out the road distance.
• When you tap Directions or Street View — those hand the two locations to Google Maps, because that is the app doing the driving.

None of them ever receive your tracking. Your statuses, notes, favourites and history are never sent anywhere — not to them, not to us. And none of them are told who you are: there is no account, no name and no email attached to any of it.

If you would rather share nothing at all, skip setting a home address and just browse the list — the app works without it. You will lose distances and travel times, nothing else.

Getting updates

This app is improved often. So that your phone picks up the newest version, fully close it every so often rather than leaving it open for days — swipe up from the bottom of the screen and flick the app (or the Safari tab) away, then open it again. The version number at the bottom of this page tells you which build you are on, and it also shows in the small badge in the bottom-left corner. Your saved statuses, notes and favourites are not affected by updating.

Privacy & removal requests

We value your input and respect the privacy of businesses and individuals. If you are a child care provider (or an individual named in a listing) and would like your name or business removed from this app, we will honour your removal request — send it through the feedback form above and it will be actioned promptly.

Please verify before relying on it

Details such as availability, hours, fees, licensing status, and phone numbers change frequently and may be out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate here. Before making any decision, please confirm directly with the child care provider or the official government sources. Distances and travel times shown are estimates only.

No affiliation or endorsement

This is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan 211, or any provider listed. All provider names and marks remain the property of their respective owners.
