Frequently asked questions

How many licensed daycares in Campbell River currently have openings?

This page lists 12 licensed facilities in Campbell River reporting open spaces, including 9 licensed group child care centres and 3 licensed family child care homes. Availability changes frequently, so it is best to contact your preferred options as soon as possible.

What is the difference between the group and family daycares listed here?

Licensed group child care centres are larger, centre-based programs, while licensed family child care homes operate out of the provider's home with a maximum of 7 children. Campbell River's current openings include 9 group centres and 3 family homes, giving families a choice between setting types.

Can I get reduced daycare fees at facilities in Campbell River?

Yes. About 94% of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without any parent application. Some facilities also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month and is open to any BC family regardless of income.

When should I start looking for daycare in Campbell River?

BC's general advice is to start looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand significantly outpaces supply across the province. Applying to multiple facilities at once is strongly recommended, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.
