B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit
The B.C. Early Childhood Tax Benefit (BCECTB) is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising young children under age 6.

BC Early Years Centres provide B.C. families with access to a range of early years services and supports, information and referrals in a one-stop, convenient location. With a focus on improving child outcomes, a significant task of BC Early Years Centres is working within an integrated service delivery model to make it easier for families with young children to access what they need.
BC Early Years Centres exist in schools, child development centres, recreation centers, storefronts, local not-for-profit service provider locations, and as mobile ‘satellite centres.’ All of the BC Early Years Centres build on current work in their communities and are leveraging existing partnerships and programs.
