Many licensed facilities in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, which automatically lowers fees without any parent application, and some participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, which caps full-time fees at $200 per month per child. The Affordable Child Care Benefit is also available to eligible families earning under roughly $111,000 per year and can stack with those programs.
