CCFRI is a provincial program where participating licensed operators receive funding to lower the fees they charge families. Parents do not apply; the reduction is applied automatically at the facility. Reductions commonly range from $350 to $900 per month depending on your child's age and the facility type.

BC recommends 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 facilities at once, so it pays to apply broadly.
