Is daycare free in BC in 2026 — not technically free, but BC’s CCFRI and ACCB programs can reduce costs to near-zero for lower-income families. For a Coquitlam family earning under $45,000 with an infant in CCFRI-participating licensed care, combined CCFRI and ACCB may cover the entire fee. At $60,000 combined income, effective cost is often under $200/month. At $111K+, only CCFRI applies.
For information on BC childcare subsidies and licensed daycare regulations, visit the Government of BC Childcare Resources. Smiling Kids Childcare Centre is a licensed childcare facility meeting all BC childcare regulations.
