BC's general advice is to start looking during pregnancy, ideally in the first trimester. Demand for licensed spaces significantly outpaces supply across the province, and major providers can have waitlists of one to three years. Since April 2024, BC has banned waitlist fees, so there is no cost to applying broadly.

Most licensed BC providers participate in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), which automatically lowers fees without any application required from parents. Some centres also participate in the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC program, capping full-time fees at $200 per month per child. Families earning under roughly $111,000 per year may also qualify for the Affordable Child Care Benefit, which can stack on top of these programs.
