## How it works

This checklist records whether you have asked six practical questions. It does not rate a centre or verify its answers.

The directory uses a snapshot of the BC Child Care Map dataset. Confirm current licensing, services, availability, hours and fees with the source or the centre.

Your yes-or-no answers appear in the result URL so you can share the checklist. Do not add personal details.

> This checklist is for planning a conversation. It does not verify licensing, availability, fees or quality. Confirm details with the centre and the provincial source.

## Questions

### Does this checklist tell me which centre to choose?

No. It helps you collect the same current details from each centre. Your family's needs and the centre's direct answers matter.

### Are the answers checked by DaycareMap?

No. The result URL includes your yes-or-no answers, but it cannot verify the centre's statements. Do not add personal details. Confirm facts with the centre and the BC Child Care Map source.
