Staying Within the Law During the Teacher Strike: What Alberta Families and Providers Need to Know
When schools close and families are scrambling for care, it’s natural for providers to want to help as many children as possible. Parents are doing everything they can to find safe, trusted options, and dayhome providers (and others opening their homes during the strike) are often the first to step up.
The desire to say “yes” to everyone is strong. But there’s an important reality we can’t ignore: Alberta law places clear limits on how many children can be cared for in a home setting.
Professional Development
We offer a variety of professional development opportunities each month — including workshops, webinars, and learning events — all thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique realities of in-home child care. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your skills, gain new strategies, or simply connect with others who get it, our sessions are built with you in mind. Many of our workshops are offered free of charge, ensuring that private dayhome providers have access to professional development opportunties without financial barriers.
Networking & Peer Connection
Running a dayhome can feel isolating — but you don’t have to do it alone. Our networking and peer connection opportunities, like our monthly Banish Burnout sessions and Mentor Evenings, create space for real conversations, shared experiences, and meaningful support. These events are designed to help you recharge, connect with fellow providers, and build a strong, supportive community that understands the work you do.
Tools & Resources
From editable templates to printable activities, ADSN offers a growing library of practical tools created specifically for dayhome professionals. Whether you need help with business organization, parent communication, program planning, or daily routines, our resources are designed to save you time, reduce stress, and support your success — so you can focus on what matters most: the children in your care.
