Frequently asked questions
How many licensed daycares are there in Nakusp?

What is the difference between a group centre and a family childcare home in Nakusp?

When should I start looking for childcare in Nakusp?
BC's general guidance is to start looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. In a smaller community like Nakusp where the number of licensed facilities is limited, starting early gives you the best chance of securing a spot. Waitlist fees were banned in BC in April 2024, so there is no cost to applying to multiple providers.
Are there affordable childcare programs available in Nakusp?
Many licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically reduces fees without any application required from parents. Families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit if household income is under roughly $111,000 per year. Some facilities may also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month.
