BC recommends starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed childcare significantly outpaces supply across BC, and waitlists at many centres can run one to three years. April 2024 changes banned waitlist fees, so applying to several centres at no cost is now easier.

About 94 percent of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees by commonly $350 to $900 per month depending on age and facility type. Families at a $10-a-Day participating centre pay a maximum of $200 per month per child, and that program is open to any BC family regardless of income. Lower-income families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit on top of these reductions.
