BC guidance is to start looking as early as pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed childcare across BC significantly outpaces supply, and waitlists at popular centres can stretch one to three years. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.

Fees vary by facility, but most licensed BC providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically reduces fees by commonly $350 to $900 per month depending on the age band 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.
