Licensing
Every childcare centre in Alberta is regulated by the Provincial Licensing Standards. Centres are required to meet the mandatory regulations and are visited regularly by a Licensing Officer to ensure they are in compliance. Reports from these visits are posted in your centre and are available for parents to view. Any recommendations from these reports are used as an opportunity to improve the centre.
