Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit a dayhome before enrolling my child?
Absolutely. We encourage families to visit potential dayhomes to meet the educator, ask questions, and see the environment in person. During your consultation, our agency team will help coordinate a tour so you can feel confident in your decision.
What is the difference between a dayhome and a daycare?
A dayhome is a form of home-based childcare offered in a licensed caregiver’s residence. It typically features smaller group sizes and a more personal, home-like environment. In contrast, a daycare is usually a larger, commercial facility with multiple staff and higher child-to-caregiver ratios.
Discovery Tots Dayhome Ltd. offers fully licensed dayhomes in Calgary locations, combining the benefits of small group care with professional oversight and enriched early learning programs.
Do you offer full-time and part-time childcare options?
Yes. We provide both full-time daycare and part-time childcare placements to meet the varying needs of Calgary and Chestermere families. Availability may vary by location, so we encourage families to contact us early to explore their options.
How are Discovery Tots educators supported?
Unlike many other home daycare agency models, Discovery Tots provides ongoing operational support to reduce caregiver burnout and maintain consistent, high-quality care. Our agency handles licensing compliance, offers professional development, and ensures caregivers can focus on nurturing children, not paperwork.
How do I find a dayhome near me?
If you’re searching a trusted dayhome in Calgary, Discovery Tots makes the process simple. We’ll help you find a licensed educator near your neighbourhood and walk you through placement options that suit your schedule, values, and child’s needs.
How does Discovery Tots handle illness or emergencies?
All educators are trained in emergency response and follow strict health and safety policies. If a child becomes ill, parents are notified immediately and provided with clear steps for care and return.
What is your approach to discipline and behaviour guidance?
At Discovery Tots, we focus on positive guidance, helping children understand emotions, build self-regulation skills, and resolve conflict peacefully. Educators use strategies such as redirection, modeling, and consistent routines to promote respectful behavior. We do not use time-outs or punitive methods.
