Find Licensed Group Daycares in Penticton.

There are 30 licensed group daycares in Penticton. All are centre-based facilities licensed by the Province of BC.

No. This page covers licensed group daycares only. Licensed family daycares, which operate in a provider's home with up to 7 children, are listed on a separate page.

Fees vary by facility and age group, but most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on the child's age. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month. Income-tested families may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit on top of these reductions.

BC advisors recommend 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 centres at once, so casting a wide net early gives you the best chance of securing a spot.
