BC advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Since April 2024, waitlist fees have been banned in BC, so there is no cost to applying to multiple facilities at once.

Fees vary by facility and program type, but most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without any application from parents. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child and is open to any BC family regardless of income.
