Child care on school grounds program guide

Last updated on July 7, 2026

School districts have been key partners in expanding access to child care on school grounds through the ChildCareBC Plan. As this work has grown, districts have expressed the need for clearer, more consistent guidance to support planning and delivery. In collaboration with the sector, the ministry has created this program guide to offer practical, province‑wide direction for staff so they can confidently establish and sustain high‑quality school age child care programs.

The Child Care on School Grounds program guide is currently under development, with new content being added gradually as it becomes available. While work continues, you can view the complete list of planned topics below.
