Open spaces, as reported by the operator
Holly Hobby House Family Child Care reported no open spaces when it last updated this on 2026-07-13.
Operators update this field themselves and many do so rarely. Treat it as a reason to phone, not as a space held for you.
Before you phone
What the provincial record does not say
Operators fill in their own entry in the Province's Child Care Map, and most leave parts of it blank. A blank field records one thing only: that nobody filled it in. The centre may well offer it. These are the details this record cannot answer for you, and what to ask on the phone.
Age groups
The record does not say which ages Holly Hobby House Family Child Care is licensed for. Ask which age groups it takes, whether it has a separate infant and toddler programme, and at what age a child moves between rooms.
Hours
No hours are recorded. Ask for the opening and closing times, whether there is early drop-off or late pick-up, and what the late fee is.
Languages
No languages are recorded beyond English. If a second language matters to you, ask which languages the educators speak with the children day to day, and how often.
Meals
Nothing is recorded about food. Ask whether meals and snacks are included, whether they cost extra, and how allergies are handled.
Supported child development
The record does not indicate support for children who need extra help. If that applies to your child, ask directly about the facility's experience and whether it works with a supported child development consultant.
Website
No website is recorded for Holly Hobby House Family Child Care. Most family providers and many smaller centres do not run one, so a phone call is usually the only way to get current fees and waitlist information.
Licence
What a Licensed Family licence means
A family facility is licensed to care for a small number of children in the provider's own home. It is inspected by Fraser Health and held to the Child Care Licensing Regulation in the same way a group facility is, with limits set for the number and ages of children in care at one time.
A licence is issued and enforced by Fraser Health's Community Care Facilities Licensing program. To confirm that Holly Hobby House Family Child Care holds a current licence, or to read what inspectors have recorded there, search Fraser Health's public database rather than relying on this page. Fraser Health is the authority, and its record takes priority over anything in this directory.
The rules that apply here
What the law requires of a family facility
The Province's dataset records the licence category but not the care programme. A family facility in this dataset will be running one of these two, and the difference between them matters: one requires the provider to hold an early childhood educator certificate and one does not.
Family Child Care
Maximum group: 7 children, cared for personally by the licensee, who must be a responsible adult
- 7 or fewer, with a child under 12 months present
- The licensee. No more than 3 children under 48 months, and only one of those under 12 months
- 7 or fewer, no child under 12 months
- The licensee. No more than 4 children under 48 months, of whom no more than 2 under 24 months
In-Home Multi-Age Child Care
Maximum group: 8 children of various ages, in the licensee's own home
- 8 or fewer
- The licensee, who must be certified as an educator. No more than 3 children under 36 months, and only one under 12 months
The building itself
- An indoor and an outdoor play area
- Family Child Care is exempt from the 3.7 m² per child indoor rule and from the 6 m² per child outdoor figure that group facilities must meet, but it must still provide both kinds of play area.
- One toilet and wash basin per 10 children or fewer
- Unlike a group facility, these need not be on the same floor as the care area.
- A separate sleeping area away from activity areas
- Required wherever the programme cares for any child under 36 months.
- Water no hotter than 49°C anywhere a child can reach
- Applies to all heated water accessible to children.
- The group size excludes the licensee's own older relatives
- In Family Child Care and In-Home Multi-Age Child Care only, a person aged 12 or over related to the licensee does not count within the group size.
These are legal minimums that apply to every facility in this category in British Columbia, including Holly Hobby House Family Child Care. Many facilities staff and equip themselves well above them, and this page reports only the floor, since the Province’s dataset records nothing about how any individual facility operates. Fraser Health inspects against these rules and publishes what it finds.
Funding
What a family could claim at a family facility
These are the maximum monthly amounts the Province publishes for this licence category. What a particular family receives is calculated by the ministry against its own tables, and the Affordable Child Care Benefit is income tested. Treat both as ceilings set by the Province. What Holly Hobby House Family Child Care charges is a separate figure, and only the facility can tell you what it is.
| Situation | Affordable Child Care Benefit | Fee Reduction Initiative |
|---|---|---|
| Child under 19 months | up to $1,000 a month | up to $600 a month |
| Child 19 to 36 months | up to $1,000 a month | up to $600 a month |
| Child 36 months to school age | up to $550 a month | up to $500 a month |
The Province's dataset records Holly Hobby House Family Child Care as participating in the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, so its published fee should already have that reduction applied. Ask whether a quoted fee is before or after it. The Affordable Child Care Benefit is the one a family has to apply for, and it must be claimed before the end of the month in which care is needed.
On the phone
What to ask a family facility
These follow from the licence category rather than from anything recorded about Holly Hobby House Family Child Care. The Province's dataset cannot answer any of them.
- Which of the two family programmes the licence names, since In-Home Multi-Age requires the provider to hold an ECE certificate and Family Child Care does not
- How many children who are not the provider's own are present at once, and their ages
- What happens when the provider is ill or on holiday, since a single caregiver has no colleague to cover
- Whether the provider holds a current first aid and CPR certificate
