Frequently asked questions
How many licensed family child care homes are there in Golden, BC?

What ages do Golden's family child care homes serve?

What is family child care and how is it different from a daycare centre?
Licensed family child care is provided in the caregiver's own home and is limited to a maximum of 7 children under BC's Childcare Licensing Regulation. This smaller setting can offer more flexible routines compared to a larger centre-based program.
When should I start looking for a family child care home in Golden?
BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for spaces frequently outpaces supply. Since April 2024, BC has banned waitlist fees, so applying to every available home in Golden costs nothing.
