Fees vary by centre, but most licensed providers in BC participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically reduces fees by roughly $350 to $900 per month depending on the age of your child. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, capping full-time fees at $200 per month. The Affordable Child Care Benefit can stack on top of these reductions for eligible families.

BC experts recommend starting your search during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester, as demand significantly outpaces supply across the province. Applying to multiple centres at once improves your chances, and since BC banned waitlist fees in April 2024, there is no cost to casting a wide net.
