BC advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province, and major providers report waitlists of one to three years. April 2024 also saw BC ban waitlist fees, so there is no longer a cost barrier to applying to multiple centres at once.

Fees vary by facility, but most BC licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on age and facility type. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child and is open to any BC family regardless of income.
