Most licensed BC providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without a parent application. Some facilities 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.

BC child development advisors recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces is high across the province. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying to multiple facilities at once, so applying broadly is a good strategy.
