Surrey council approved two daycare centre proposals at third reading on July 27.<\/p>\n
The first involves a new childcare facility for up to 46 children at 12036 \u2013 84 Avenue with a caretaker suite proposed for the basement.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s on a vacant lot where a single-family dwelling was demolished in 2023.<\/p>\n
During a public hearing Deb Jack, president of Surrey Environmental Partners, noted the site has nine trees \u201cand they\u2019re going to kill them all off.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be no natural shade for the children who are going to be attending this school,\u201d Jack said. \u201cI\u2019d like to share with council the concern I have about \u2013 and I\u2019ve spoken to this several times before \u2013 about the graphics that were shown and that you would see in terms of the proposed developments. And in this particular one they show trees that look to be probably about 30 years old when indeed that\u2019s how this site is not going to look for a very, very, very long time. It\u2019s quite misleading.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second proposal, for 15407 \u2013 91A Avenue, is for a child care centre for up to 25 children \u201cas an accessory use\u201d inside an existing single family dwelling that will require three staffers.<\/p>\n
Currently there\u2019s a two-storey single-family residence on site with a child care facility for seven children there, with Berkshire Park and Berkshire Park Elementary School nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Surrey council approves two daycare centre proposals Published 11:01 pm Monday, July 27, 2026 Surrey council approved two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":831009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-831368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=831368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/831368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/831009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=831368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=831368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=831368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
