Find Family Child Care (Home Daycare) in Victoria.

Little Scout lists 39 licensed family child care homes in Victoria. All 39 are home-based providers, each licensed to care for a maximum of 7 children at a time.

Licensed family child care is provided in the caregiver's own home, with BC licensing capping enrollment at 7 children. This differs from a licensed group child care centre, which is a larger, purpose-built facility serving more children across separate age-group rooms.

BC recommends starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province, so applying early and to multiple providers at once gives you the best chance of securing a spot.

Yes. Licensed family child care providers can opt in to the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which reduces fees automatically for families without a parent application. Some licensed home providers 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 at a participating site, regardless of income.
