Some licensed family child care homes participate in BC's $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month and is open to any BC family at a participating site, regardless of income. About 94% of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically reduces fees without a parent application.

BC advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple homes at once, so casting a wide net early is a smart strategy.
