Find daycares in Prince Rupert.

Little Scout lists 23 licensed childcare facilities in Prince Rupert. That includes 8 licensed group centres and 15 licensed family childcare homes operating in providers' residences.

Yes. Among the facilities listed in Prince Rupert, 1 accepts infants and 1 serves preschool-age children. Because infant spaces are limited, BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search as early as the first trimester of pregnancy.

Fees vary by facility type and age group, but many BC families benefit from the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees at about 94% of licensed providers. Families at participating $10-a-Day ChildCareBC sites pay a maximum of $200 per month, and the Affordable Child Care Benefit can reduce costs further for eligible families earning under roughly $111,000 per year.

BC guidance is to begin looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces is high across the province. Applying to multiple facilities at once improves your chances, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.
