Frequently asked questions

How many licensed preschool daycares are there in Kamloops?

There are 7 licensed facilities in Kamloops serving children aged 30 months to school age. That includes 2 licensed group child care centres and 5 licensed family child care homes, where care is provided in the provider's own home with a maximum of 7 children.

Do any preschool daycares in Kamloops offer extended hours?

Can I get help paying for preschool daycare in Kamloops?

Yes. Most licensed BC providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically reduces fees without any application from parents. Families who qualify can also apply for the Affordable Child Care Benefit, and some centres participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child.

When should I start looking for a preschool daycare spot in Kamloops?

BC experts recommend starting your search as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, since demand for licensed childcare significantly outpaces supply across the province. Applying to multiple facilities at once is a smart strategy, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to casting a wide net.
