Costs vary by facility and age group, 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 band and facility type. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, capping full-time fees at $200 per month. Neither benefit is income-tested at the point of enrolment.

BC's guidance is to start looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, as demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across Metro Vancouver. Applying to multiple facilities at once is recommended, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.
