Daycare & childcare 87 listed in the Kootenays

The Kootenay List has 87 daycare & childcare across the Kootenays. Each one comes from a public source or from its owner, and the list is current as of 28 OCT 2026. They are in Nelson, Castlegar, Invermere, Trail, and 24 more towns. Scroll the full list below, pick your town, or open any business to see its details.

Where to find them

Most of the region's daycare & childcare are in Nelson, Castlegar and Invermere. In all, they are in 28 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.
