With recent daycare closures tightening options for working families in Salt Lake County, Canyons School District is continuing a benefit that’s already making a difference: onsite daycare for employees.
Starting Monday, March 30 at 9 a.m. through midnight on Friday, April 24, 2026, Canyons employees can apply online to enroll their infant or toddler children at one of the following school-based locations for the 2026-2027 school year. All three locations serve children from six weeks to five years of age.
· Brighton High
· Corner Canyon High
· Jordan High
After April 24, all new applications will be placed on a waitlist.
“We urge interested employees to apply soon, because we anticipate demand will be high,” said Canyons Early Childhood Program Administrator Stephanie Petersen. “These programs provide a safe, nurturing environment while also supporting hands-on learning opportunities for high school students who are exploring careers in early childhood education.”
Enrollment will be based on the Canyons Board of Education-approved priorities described in the Early Childcare Training Center Parent/Guardian Handbook, and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Employees with children who are currently enrolled in the program are still required to complete an annual application. “This ensures we have the most up-to-date information and can plan appropriately for staffing and classroom needs,” Petersen said.
To meet rising operational costs, there will be a $50 monthly tuition increase for the coming year.
Employees can choose to enroll their children for five days, three days, or every other day (A or B days).
Tuition for the program ranges up to $950 per month, depending on the schedule the family chooses and whether the child is diapered or non-diapered. The tuition is deducted directly through CSD’s payroll.
All ECTC locations are open during the school year from 6:50 a.m. to 4:10 p.m.
