Find CCFRI Daycares (Fee Reduction) in Qualicum Beach.

There are 11 licensed childcare facilities in Qualicum Beach that participate in CCFRI. That includes 6 licensed group child care centres and 5 licensed family child care homes.

No application is required from parents. CCFRI is an operator-led program where the facility opts in and the fee reduction is applied automatically. You simply need to enrol your child at a participating provider.

Savings vary by your child's age band and the type of facility, but reductions commonly range from $350 to $900 per month at participating licensed providers across BC. CCFRI can also be combined with the income-tested Affordable Child Care Benefit for additional savings.

BC advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Applying to several facilities at once improves your chances, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.
