BC's general advice is to start as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, because demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. September sees the highest turnover of spaces, with January and June as secondary windows.

Fees vary by facility and age group, but most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically reduces fees by commonly $350 to $900 per month depending on the child's age. 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. Lower-income families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit on top of these reductions.
