Stable daily routine for families
Reliable childcare helps parents keep a predictable schedule for work, school, and appointments.
Childcare essentials for newcomer families
Find suitable childcare, understand support programs, and prepare documents early so your family schedule stays stable.
Why this matters
Supports work and study continuity
Childcare access directly affects job retention, class attendance, and long-term settlement progress.
Early learning and social development
Quality programs support language, social skills, and school readiness for young children.
Costs and benefits require planning
Fees can vary widely, so subsidy programs and tax-related supports should be checked early.
Core setup paths
Find the right care type
Compare licensed childcare options based on your child’s age, schedule, and commute.
- Compare group care, family childcare, and preschool options near home or work.
- Join waitlists early and ask about transition periods and flexible pickup times.
- Review operating hours, closure days, and communication language with staff.
Costs, subsidy, and tax supports
Plan monthly childcare costs with provincial benefits and federal supports.
- Check eligibility for BC Affordable Child Care Benefit and related provincial programs.
- Confirm what fees are included (meals, supplies, late pickup, registration).
- Track receipts for tax filing, including child care expense deduction planning.
Enrollment and readiness
Prepare key documents and routines to make first-day adjustment smoother.
- Prepare immunization records, emergency contacts, allergy and medical information.
- Share pickup authorization and custody information clearly with the centre.
- Create a gradual adaptation plan for your child’s first 1 to 2 weeks.
