Is Daycare or Kindergarten mandatory for kids in Canada?
- Thread starter HonestApple
- Start date
No - not mandatory. Rules are different from province to province. Generally mandatory for children to be attending school once they are 6 years old.
Yes, children must start school if they are six years of age or older on Sept. 1 in Alberta. (Read the last sentence in the website below and use the calculator to confirm!)

Thank you.
Just to confirm daycare is not mandatory for kids to be eligible for schools right?
Sorry no. Do a google search and start calling? There will be waiting lists. If not available, then you will need to look at home daycares. Do you have a car? If not you may need one because your daycare may be across the city.
Years ago in this country there no such thing as kindergarten, daycare etc.
Kids reached their sixth year, off to Grade one .
Kid was gone , and mothers were extremely happy in getting rid of a kid for part of the day
Flash forward, lot of these kids now run corporations.
So, each to their own
