Frequently Asked Questions — Coquitlam Daycare Spots
Do you currently have daycare spots available in Coquitlam?
Call 604-600-4393 or contact us online for current availability. We serve infants from 3 months, toddlers from 18 months, and preschool-age children. Availability changes frequently — the best way to know is to ask.
How do I secure a daycare spot in Coquitlam quickly?
Call multiple licensed centres at once, be flexible on your exact start date, and get on multiple waitlists simultaneously. Centres sometimes have spots that open on short notice. Being available to start within 2-4 weeks of a spot opening significantly increases your chances.
What if my baby isn’t born yet — can I still contact you about a spot?
Yes — absolutely. We accept waitlist inquiries for unborn children. Providing your due date lets us estimate when you’ll need care and flag you for expected openings in that timeframe. This is strongly recommended for families wanting infant care starting at 4-6 months.
