Frequently asked questions

How many licensed infant daycares are there in Kamloops?

There are 7 licensed facilities in Kamloops that serve children under 36 months. Of these, 2 are Licensed Group centres and 5 are Licensed Family providers operating in the provider's home.

What is the difference between a Licensed Group centre and a Licensed Family provider for infants?

A Licensed Group centre is a larger, purpose-built facility caring for multiple children in age-specific rooms. A Licensed Family provider cares for children in the provider's own home, with a maximum of 7 children across all ages under BC regulations.

When should I start looking for infant daycare in Kamloops?

BC advisors recommend starting during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Infant spaces are among the most limited in the province, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple facilities at once.

Can I get help paying for infant daycare in Kamloops?

Yes. Many licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without any parent application. If your provider has joined the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, full-time fees are capped at $200 per month per child, and this benefit is open to any BC family regardless of income.
