Find Daycares with Vacancies in Squamish.

Little Scout shows 10 licensed facilities in Squamish with reported openings: 8 are licensed group child care centres and 2 are licensed family child care homes. Availability changes frequently, so check back regularly and contact facilities directly to confirm.

Licensed group child care centres are centre-based programs that serve children in age bands such as under 36 months, 30 months to school age, or school age. Licensed family child care is provided in the caregiver's own home and is limited to a maximum of 7 children. Both facility types are licensed under BC's Child Care Licensing Regulation.

Some licensed facilities in Squamish may participate in BC's $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child. The program is open to any BC family at a participating site and is not income-tested. Check each facility's profile on Little Scout to see if it participates.

BC recommends starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, because demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province. Applying to multiple facilities at once is a smart strategy, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly.
