About 94% of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees by commonly $350 to $900 per month depending on age and facility type. Some Richmond facilities may also be approved $10-a-Day sites, capping full-time fees at $200 per month per child. The $10-a-Day program is open to any BC family at a participating centre and is not income-tested.

BC advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand significantly outpaces supply across Metro Vancouver. Even when a spot appears open, applying broadly to multiple facilities gives you the best chance of securing care.
