BC's general advice is to start during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across Metro Vancouver, and major providers commonly report waitlists of one to three years. Since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to applying broadly, so experts recommend applying to 15 to 20 facilities at minimum.

About 94 percent of BC's licensed providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without a parent application. Families at participating sites may also qualify for the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child and is open to any BC family regardless of income. Income-tested families can stack additional savings through the Affordable Child Care Benefit.
