What is Family Child Care and how is it different from a daycare centre?

It caps full-time fees at $200 per month and is open to any BC family at a participating site, regardless of income. Check each listing to see whether that provider has opted in.
When should I start looking for a home daycare in Qualicum Beach?
BC's general advice is to begin your search as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, since demand for licensed spaces is high relative to supply across the province. With only 5 licensed Family Child Care homes in Qualicum Beach, applying to every available provider as soon as possible is a sensible approach.
