The Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia, through the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, will partner to open a new $10 a Day intake this fall from October 1 to October 31. This intake will be for providers who want to offer $10 a Day child care, where successful applicants will have the opportunity to join the $10 a Day ChildCareBC program.
This is part of the province’s commitment to expand access to $10 a Day child care throughout British Columbia. The Province has already passed its initial goal of more than 15,000 spaces by the end of 2024, and is on track to achieve the next goal of 20,000 spaces by spring 2026.
Successful applicants will be notified in the new year. Eligible providers will be able to use the My ChildCareBC Services portal with their existing login credentials to apply to become a $10 a Day ChildCareBC Centre.
