Alberta Child Care Licensing
Six licensed centres serve Westlock. Not one is a dayhome. That is unusual for rural Alberta, where approved dayhomes reached through an agency normally make up a meaningful share of licensed capacity, and it means every option here is a facility with fixed hours rather than somebody's living room. If a dayhome is what you want, the nearest agencies operate out of Barrhead and the Edmonton area.
What to know about childcare in Westlock
Jr's Daycare is the only provider with reviews, holding 5.0 from four of them. Four is thin. Treat it as encouraging rather than settled, and go and look at the room.
Westlock Community Day Care Centre, Small Hands Big Hearts Daycare, Kali's Corner Early Learning Program, Stepping Stones Pre-K and Westlock Preschool make up the rest, and the last two names point at part-day programs running on a school calendar rather than the full-day care a working parent generally needs. Five of the six are licensed for infants and toddlers, which is strong coverage at the young end, while only three carry school-age licensing. The affordability grant applies at all of them. Edmonton is about an hour south.

Tips for choosing childcare in Westlock
Verify Licensing
Confirm the centre holds a current provincial licence. A licence means the province checked baseline health, safety and staffing standards — it is a floor, not a ranking.
Read Parent Reviews
Reviews cover what an inspection report never will: what drop-off feels like, whether messages get answered, how long staff stay.
Ask About Curriculum
Ask what a Tuesday actually looks like. "Montessori" and "play-based" mean different things at different centres, so the daily schedule tells you more than the label does.
Consider Schedule Fit
Check the posted open and close times against your commute, not just your workday. Then ask what happens when you're late.
