Yes. Of the 29 licensed group daycares in Courtenay, 1 is listed as serving infants. Because infant spaces are limited, BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester.

Fees vary by facility, but most BC licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on age and 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's general 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 once is strongly recommended, and since April 2024 BC has banned waitlist fees, so there is no cost to applying broadly.
