CCFRI is a BC provincial program where participating licensed providers automatically reduce the fees they charge families. Parents do not need to apply; the operator opts in, and the reduction is applied directly to your childcare fees. Reductions commonly range from $350 to $900 per month depending on the age of your child and the type of facility.

BC recommends starting your search as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, as demand for licensed childcare significantly outpaces supply across the province. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly, so it is worth contacting multiple providers at once.
