Frequently asked questions

How many licensed family child care homes are there in New Westminster?

Do any family child care homes in New Westminster accept infants?

Yes. Of the 17 licensed family child care homes listed in New Westminster, one is confirmed to serve infants. Contact providers directly to confirm current availability for your child's age group.

What is licensed family child care and how is it different from a daycare centre?

Licensed family child care is provided in the caregiver's own home and is limited to a maximum of 7 children under BC's licensing rules. Group child care centres are larger, centre-based programs. Both types are provincially licensed and inspected.

When should I start looking for a family child care home in New Westminster?

BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand significantly outpaces supply across the province. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple providers at once.
