Where to find them

Most of the region's daycare & childcare are in Nelson, Castlegar and Invermere. In all, they are in 24 towns. About half have their own website. For the rest, the phone number is the best way in.

Waitlists rule this category. Parents call before the baby is born, and the answer is often a spot sometime next year. That is why nearly every provider lists a phone number, and far fewer have a website. Licensed centres and small home daycares both appear here. They differ on hours, ages and holidays, so ask which kind you are calling. If there is no provider in your town here, I have likely missed someone. Please tell me.

37 of the 82 Daycare & childcare on the List have no website. If yours is one of them, I can build you a site from $2,000. It says what you do and what it costs, and you own it outright. See what a daycare site includes: kootenaymade.ca/industries/childcare-education-websites
