How long can I expect to wait for an offer of childcare space?
-
Generally, most spaces become available in August when some children leave our programs to attend Kindergarten. It is very difficult to predict when a space will become available.
-
NSNH cannot guarantee space at any of our childcares. We strongly recommend that you apply to other programs as well as ours.
- North Shore Community Services (NSCR) can provide information about Childcare in the community. nscr.bc.ca 604-985-7138
Can I tour a childcare centre before I accept a space?
- We do not offer tours of our childcare sites. However, We are able to share photos of each of our Under 5 daycares. Please click here to view photos: https://nsnh.wpengine.com/children/childcare-sites/
Is there a waitlist application fee?
- No
I no longer want to be on the waitlist. Can I give my spot to someone else?
- No. Each child must have their own application. There are no substitutes for friends, relatives, or siblings
Can I apply for government subsidy?
- Yes. This is the link to Affordable Child Care Benefit: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/family-social-supports/caring-for-young-children/child-care-funding/child-care-benefit
