Find Family Child Care (Home Daycare) in Sechelt.

Little Scout lists 6 licensed Family Child Care homes in Sechelt. All 6 are home-based providers regulated by the province, with no licensed group centre-based options in this category.

Family Child Care is a licensed option where the provider cares for children in their own home, with a maximum of 7 children at a time under BC's Childcare Licensing Regulation. Centre-based daycares tend to have larger groups and dedicated classroom spaces, while home daycares typically offer a smaller, more intimate setting.

Many licensed Family Child Care providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically lowers fees at enrolled homes without any application required from parents. Families with household incomes under roughly $111,000 per year may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit, which can stack on top of CCFRI savings.

BC childcare advisors recommend starting your search as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, given how limited supply can be relative to demand. With only 6 licensed home daycares in Sechelt, applying to every available provider as early as possible is a practical approach. Since April 2024, BC has banned waitlist fees, so applying broadly costs nothing.
