How ‘Available Now’ Works in Coquitlam Licensed Daycare
When we say childcare is ‘available now,’ it means a spot is confirmed open for your child’s age group starting within 2-4 weeks. Most Coquitlam infant spots are NOT available now (waitlisted). Toddler spots (18+ months) have slightly more availability. Call licensed centres directly asking ‘Do you have a spot available now for a [age] child?’ Smiling Kids: 604-600-4393.
How to Improve Your ‘Available Now’ Chances
Be flexible on start date (±2-4 weeks captures cancellation spots). Ask to be on the on-call list at every centre. Call in June-August for September openings. Post in North Coquitlam parent Facebook groups. Coquitlam daycare open spots guide | infant availability Coquitlam.
