The Saskatchewan government and United Way have teamed up to launch a website to help parents and guardians with their child care needs.
Parent Central allows parents to search for early years learning and child care services by location and provides information about availability of licensed child care across the province. The website was developed in partnership between the Ministry of Education and 211 Saskatchewan, which is an initiative by United Way.
“It’s essentially a one-stop shop where you can enter information regarding your location, postal code and what type of resource support you’re looking for,” said Director of 211 Saskatchewan Kristin Nelson.
Today, the government announced the creation of an online portal called
Parent Central to help parents or caregivers find and access licensed child care, information, programming or services for children from the ages of zero to six. Our government remains committed to supporting families with necessary access to quality child care in their communities, Education Minister Dustin Duncan said. This new website will help families find these services nearest to where they work or live.
