Fees vary by facility, but most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically reduces fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on age band. Some centres 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.

BC guidance is to start looking as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, since demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Applying to multiple facilities at the same time improves your chances, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.
