Find Daycares with Vacancies in Kelowna.

This page lists 58 licensed facilities in Kelowna that report open spaces, including 39 group child care centres and 19 family child care homes. Availability changes frequently, so it is worth checking back regularly and applying to multiple facilities at once.

Among the 58 facilities listed, age-group coverage includes infant care, preschool, kindergarten out-of-school care, and after-school programs. Two facilities offer after-school care and three serve kindergarten out-of-school age children, so options exist across a range of stages.

BC families can benefit from the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees at participating licensed providers by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on the age of the child and the facility type. Families who qualify for the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program pay a capped fee of $200 per month per child, and this program is open to any BC family at a participating site regardless of income. Lower-income families may also stack the Affordable Child Care Benefit on top of these reductions.

BC guidance is to start 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 financial cost to applying broadly, so registering with several facilities at once is a practical strategy.
