When should I start looking for infant daycare in Kelowna?

BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Infant spaces are the hardest to find across BC, and waitlists at popular centres can stretch one to three years. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.

How much does infant daycare cost in Kelowna, and is there financial help available?

BC families may be eligible for the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees at the roughly 94% of licensed providers that participate, with reductions commonly ranging from $350 to $900 per month. Qualifying facilities in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program cap full-time fees at $200 per month per child, and that program is open to any BC family at a participating site regardless of income. Lower-income families can also stack those benefits with the Affordable Child Care Benefit.
