When should I start looking for infant daycare in Coquitlam?

BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for infant spaces is especially high, and major providers in Metro Vancouver report waitlists of 1 to 3 years. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly, so registering with multiple facilities as early as possible is a sound strategy.

How much does infant daycare cost in Coquitlam, and is there any financial help available?

BC families have access to several programs that can reduce costs. The Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI) automatically lowers fees at participating licensed providers, with reductions commonly ranging from $350 to $900 per month depending on the age band and facility type. Families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit if household income is under roughly $111,000 per year, and some centres participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child regardless of income.
