Find Daycares with Vacancies in Comox.

Of the 7 licensed daycares in Comox currently reporting open spaces, 6 are licensed group child care centres and 1 is a licensed family daycare operating in the provider's home. None of these facilities offer extended hours.

Licensed family daycares in BC operate in the provider's home and can care for a maximum of 7 children, offering a smaller, home-like setting. They are held to the same provincial licensing standards as group centres, so they are a legitimate alternative worth considering.

About 94% of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically reduces fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on your child's age and the facility type. 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 advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple facilities at once, so applying broadly is a smart strategy.
