When should I start looking for infant daycare in Abbotsford?

BC guidance is to start looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for infant spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Since April 2024, BC has banned waitlist fees, so applying to multiple facilities at once costs nothing.

Can I get help paying for infant daycare in Abbotsford?

Yes. About 94% of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without a parent application. If a facility is approved for the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, fees are capped at $200 per month per child for any BC family, regardless of income. Lower-income families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit on top of these reductions.
