Find Family Child Care (Home Daycare) in Powell River.

There are 9 licensed family child care homes in Powell River. Each is run out of the provider's home and is licensed by the province to care for up to 7 children at a time.

Of the 9 licensed family child care homes in Powell River, 2 accept infants, 2 serve preschool-aged children, and there are individual homes covering kindergarten out-of-school and after-school ages. Not every home covers every age band, so it is important to confirm your child's age group directly with the provider.

Licensed family child care homes can participate in BC's $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month and is open to any BC family regardless of income. About 94% of BC's licensed providers also participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which reduces fees automatically with no application required from parents.

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 homes at once, so casting a wide net early is a practical strategy.
