Frequently asked questions

How many licensed home daycares are there in West Kelowna?

Little Scout lists 23 licensed family child care homes in West Kelowna. All 23 are home-based providers, meaning care takes place in the caregiver's own residence with a maximum of 7 children per home under BC licensing rules.

What age groups do West Kelowna home daycares serve?

Among the 23 listed providers, age groups represented include infants, preschool-aged children, kindergarten out-of-school care, and after-school care. Not every provider covers every age group, so it is worth checking each listing for the specific ages accepted.

When should I start looking for a home daycare in West Kelowna?

BC's general advice is to start as early as the first trimester of pregnancy, since demand for licensed spaces consistently outpaces supply across the province. With only 23 licensed family child care homes in West Kelowna, applying to every suitable provider as early as possible is strongly recommended.

Can West Kelowna home daycares participate in the $10-a-Day program or CCFRI fee reductions?

Yes. Licensed family child care providers in BC can participate in both the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which about 94% of licensed providers across the province have joined, and the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program if approved by the province. Neither benefit is income-tested, and they can stack with the income-tested Affordable Child Care Benefit for eligible families.
