About 94% of 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, capping full-time fees at $200 per month. Families earning under roughly $111,000 per year may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit, which stacks with both programs.
