Costs vary by facility and age group, but most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which reduces fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on the facility type and your child's age. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month and is open to any BC family regardless of income.

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 facilities at once, so applying broadly improves your chances.
