Providing excellent child care options is critical to UBC’s ability to attract and retain outstanding faculty.
See the UBC Housing & Relocation Services website for information about the various on- and off-campus child care options available to faculty, staff and students, including UBC Childcare Services. Faculty candidates must apply directly to these providers in order to be considered.
Provost Priority Childcare Placement Program (PCPP)
In an effort to improve timing of access into on-campus childcare, this supplementary Priority Childcare Placement Program (PCPP) provides a limited number of tenure-stream faculty members with higher placement on the UBC Childcare waitlist to support strategic recruitment and retention priorities. Department Heads or Deans may recommend tenure-stream faculty members for this program by completing the application below. Applications are forwarded to the Deputy Provost for review and consideration.
UBC Childcare charges an additional $150 monthly premium on top of regular childcare rates for daycare spots secured through the PCPP. The supporting Faculty or Department is required to pay this additional monthly premium for each PCPP-assisted childcare spot for two years.
PCPP spots will only be considered for children under the age of 5; school-aged children are not eligible for this program. While both recruitment and retention applications are accepted, recruitment applications will be prioritized. Retention applications will only be considered once all recruitment applications have been allotted a spot.
The application portal is now closed. Please note that applications are open twice a year (in Spring and Fall) for a period of one month. The next round of applications for spots in the second half of 2025 will be open from March 24, 2025, to April 25, 2025.
Contact UBC Housing, Immigration and Relocation Services at pcpp.info@ubc.ca if you have questions about the PCPP and application process.
