There are 5 licensed after-school care facilities in Kamloops listed on Little Scout. Two are licensed group child care centres and three are licensed family child care homes, where care is provided in the caregiver's own home with a maximum of 7 children.

A licensed group child care centre is a facility-based program, while licensed family child care is run out of the provider's home and is capped at 7 children total. In Kamloops, 3 of the 5 after-school options are family child care homes, so families have both types to consider.

Most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically lowers fees without any application from parents. Families with household income under roughly $111,000 per year may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit, which can stack on top of CCFRI savings.

BC childcare experts recommend starting your search as early as possible, even during pregnancy for younger children. September is the highest-turnover month for childcare spaces, with January and June as secondary windows, so timing your applications around those periods can improve your chances.
