Frequently asked questions

How many licensed infant daycares are there in Burnaby?

Do any Burnaby infant daycares offer care in languages other than English?

When should I start looking for infant daycare in Burnaby?

BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Infant spaces are the most limited age band in Metro Vancouver, and major providers report waitlists of 1 to 3 years. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly, so experts suggest applying to 15 to 20 facilities at minimum.

Can I get help paying for infant daycare in Burnaby?

Yes. About 94% of BC licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically lowers fees without a parent application. Some sites also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, capping full-time fees at $200 per month per child. The Affordable Child Care Benefit is an additional income-tested subsidy that can stack on top of both programs.
