BC guidance is to start during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand consistently outpaces supply across the province. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple centres at once, so apply as broadly and as early as you can.

Fees vary by facility, but most 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, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month and is open to any BC family regardless of income.
