Frequently asked questions

How many licensed group daycares are there in Gibsons?

Which age groups do Gibsons group daycares serve?

When should I start looking for a daycare spot in Gibsons?

BC advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed spaces across BC significantly outpaces supply, and major providers can have waitlists of one to three years. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, applying to several facilities at once costs nothing extra.

Can I get help with daycare costs at a licensed group facility in Gibsons?

Yes. About 94% of BC licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically reduces fees by commonly $350 to $900 per month depending on age and facility type. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, capping full-time fees at $200 per month per child, and families under roughly $111,000 annual income may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit on top of these programs.
