What affects the price
Test your Vancouver commute at pickup and drop-off times. Record the age group, days per week, closure days, meals, deposit, late charges and withdrawal notice. Confirm licensing through the provincial child care search. Ask which funding applies to the offered space; being on a waitlist is not an offer of care.
