BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed spaces outpaces supply across BC, so applying early and to several facilities at once gives you the best chance of securing a spot.

About 94% of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees at eligible centres. Some facilities 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.
